Thank you, Marissa. You've just saved me some time. I was just about to google you and came back to me e-mail to see if I could find your last name, which I didn't remember, and found this, You sound very pretty, and we know you're very nice. Cindy Sue, so far I've only found the President and CEO, Jim Fruchterman (from whom I think we've only heard once). Here's his description,with the site that gives more info about Benetech and the launching of Bookshare in June of 2002. http://www.benetech.org/about/presup_jun2002.shtml The site above gives a lot of info about Benetech and the launching of bookshare. The photo of Jim Fruchterman, President and CEO, shows a brown-haired young man (mid-to-lae 30?s? early 40?s? I can?t tell ages very well) with a high forehead, glasses, and a lovely smile. He?s described in another article as an engineer and a social entrepreneur. Cindy --- Marissa Mika <Marissa.M@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Maybe I should stick this in a personal ad.
