That's good new, though, if he submitted something a couple of months ago. I've
never written to him off istso I son't have an email address. I have heard
from another octogenarian, George, and he's fine and was traveling when he
answered me.

>>Let me say, Cindy, that during the long time that you were
unsubscribed from this list and did not know it someone was asking a
question similar to yours about both you and Bud. Someone said that
Bud had been spotted recently on another blind related list. I
forget which one and I am not subscribed to it, whichever one it is,
because I have not personally spotted him since the last time I did
on the Bookshare lists and that has been a long time now.
