To the Editor:

I have a common disability that, compared to most others, is relatively minor, and for the most part I have learned how to adapt to it with little or no inconvenience to others. At a venue recently, I bothered a fellow patron who in no uncertain terms let me have it, despite my explanation of my disability.

My wife and I relocated our seating and we stayed until the performance was over. At 76, I know life is not a picnic, but I have to admit I remain shaken by this incident.
