KATHERINE 'TAMI" CALDWELL prepares to take her first trip across Kimball Ave. at South 7th St. in downtown Raymondville Tuesday morning. Tami was under the watchfull eye of Joyce Rodriguez, a trainer with Texas State Division for the Blind, Harlingen. Tami is learning to use a "white cane" which helps her feel her way along to avoid obstacles ahead while alerting drivers to the fact that she is sight impaired. "I took off like a bullet," she said of a short trip across the street that many take for granted. Meanwhile, Tami is finishing college training on line at San Antonio College to become an alcohol and drug abuse counselor. (Carlos Martinez photo) 005p1.jpg
