Books and Beyond Interviews Bob Acosta, by Bonnie Bloce

Bob Acosta, founder of www.radiooutofthepast.org and former schoolteacher is our guest on this evening's Books And Beyond. Chosen as one of the five outstanding men in California by the California Jaycees in 1969, Bob became the first blind teacher there.
His devotion to helping others did not stop at the end of his teaching career. For a number of years, with Pat Price and others, he has run successfully the website accessibleworld.org.How was accessibleworld.org founded? What is its mission? What events, symposiums, and presentations does it provide? Where do new ideas come from? How have recent changes affected future plans? At a time when Mr. Acosta could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, why is involvement in accessibleworld.org so important?
Seldom do we have an opportunity to spotlight a man so dedicated to helping a community. Bob Acosta is a man interested and committed to making the world better and in increasing opportunities available for those of us in the visually impaired community.
A past guest on Books And Beyond, he is a dynamic speakker who brings enthusiasm to all he does.
