La valeur d'une personne ne se mesure pas à son degré de vision mais plutôt par l'oeuvre qu'elle a accomplie.…
Et l'oeuvre de Jean-Paul Losier, un non-voyant, est impressionnante. Fils d'Acadie, cinquième d'une famille de treize enfants, Jean-Paul a surmonté tous les obstacles et ils étaient légions. Bachelier en arts et en education, avocat, 'l'homme qui savait les livres par coeur' a aussi enseigné 24 années à des voyants. Pendant toutes ces années, Jean-Paul a cultivé la terre familiale avec audace, fierté et un success croissant. Intelligence hors du commun, esprit analytique, influent mais discret et sans prétention, le rayonnement et l'importance de ce philanthrope ne se résument pas qu'aux non-voyants, à l'I.N.C.A. ou aux Acadiens. 2004.One is fun: guidelines for better braille literacy
