Scott Williams was sick and couldn't join us, but Scott Blanks was alive and well today at CSUN. Thanks to all for a very enjoyable, interesting time! Hope to see even more members and volunteers next year at CSUN. Carrie Scott Blanks <scottsjb@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hey guys, Contrary to rumor, I wasn't at all sick, don't know where that came from. I was at the Starbucks from 11 to 11:20, at which point I left the area, having asked about half a dozen different individuals if they might be meeting up with other Bookshare volunteers. I even confirmed that my nametag was affixed properly, so I'm not sure how the sighted folks didn't find me. Oh well, guess we'll have to try again in a year. I did see Carrie very briefly later at the Bookshare table, and Gustavo and Janice as well.
