(UPI)- -A blind Lubbock woman and a Lorenzo, Tex., freshman coed at Texas Tech University are still benefiting from the summer they spent together this past year. Vicki Liston, of Lorenzo, has a goal for the rest of her life after spending the three months as a companion and advisor to Bar bee Thompson, a Lubbock woman born blind. Miss Liston enrolled at Texas a pocketful of dreams for a major in child development that will emphaTech with size education of the blind. "The time I spent during the summer with Miss Thompson has inspired me to attempt to make a contribution to the lives of other blind persons in the world," she said. "I was able to see through Barbee just what a need there was in this field.'' Miss Thompson has overcome more than blindness, however. After being born blind, it was re-re- discovered at the age of three that she had suffered brain damage, which caused a tendency toward epilepsy . Any of the three problems would have presented almost unconquerable barriers in itself. But with the help of her parents and an older brother, Miss Thompson has overcome all three. Her father, Asher Thompson, has added to the lives of many blind persons. He is serving an unprecedented term as chairman of the state commission for the Blind, and also serves as a board member of the Lubbock Light House for the Blind. Miss Thompson is a strong-minde- An appeal for young people to stand loyally and patriotically behind the country was made by Vernon Law, former star pitcher of the Pittsburgh Pirates, in an address before the Provo American Legion and Auxiliary here this week. Mr. Law, now associated with Brigham Young University in public relations work and as an assistant to the baseball coach, declared that those who rebel against authority, going beyond legitimate means of dissent, are undermining principles held sacred in this country. He advised such people to the history of America and seek to emulate the founding fathers in their vision and in the goals they held for the United States. He told ' of the inspiration he received in visiting national shrines at Gettysburg, Philadelphia, and other places rich in American history.
