Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: speaking of news items
My husband heard on the CBS news last night about a blind sports caster
in Florida who calls the baseball games, though he's never seen one. I think he
may get some help when necessary from his wife who accompanies him in the
booth, if necessasry, apparently he hears the sound of the bat and I don't know
what else, maybe the ump call "out" or "safe" or --could he hear the thump of a
ball being caught in a glove? I don't suppose he's any of you. The only ones
of you I know who lives in Florida are AMy and someone who moved there a while
back.

I loved those and the Bobbsey Twins books, as well ad the
Nancy Drew series.
There was an item in the news a long time ago about a woman
who was locked in a car trunk (I think she'd been kidnapped but maybe it was
accidental and she escaped because of what she'd read when Nancy Drew was in a
similar situation and show she got out

Isn't that the truth? I am adding them for the next
generation, but truthfully, I am enjoying them as much as I did as a young girl
myself. I had a voracious appetite for reading, and the Cherry Ames books in
particular were a favorite. I think I read virtually all of the Nancy Drew
books, as well as a good chunk of the Hardy boys, and then I moved on to Agatha
Christie. I read very little these days, so the pleasure of reading childhood
favorites and adding to the collection so others might enjoy has been a really
nice reprieve from my normal daily duties.
By the way, I use speech recognition software and I am a
beta tester on the Mac side as well as a user on the PC side, so if you ever
see funky words that don't make sense, it means I did a terrible job of
proofreading my own e-mail. Unfortunately I usually miss at least one in every
message, that's the problem when it gets so good that you barely check what was
typed. Smiles
Happy reading everyone!
Valerie
