THE EXCEPTIONAL HARLEY FETTERMAN

               In February of 2013, Harley again won first place, Jr. Varsity
             Division at the Region 13 Braille Challenge in Austin, Texas. His
             friend, Merlyn Hileman, was also a Texas finalist. In June, Harley and
             his   family   traveled   to   Los  Angeles   arriving   the   day   before   the
             competition, to allow for leisurely tourist time at the Santa Monica
             Pier soaking up the sun.

               Harley was evidently in the perfect mindset for intense competition
             because he skillfully went on to place third in the junior varsity
             division of the National Braille Challenge. This was his first time
             placing in the finals.
