I said hi for about twenty seconds. I've met Marissa and a few other people
here and there anyway since I used to live about half an hour from the
Bookshare offices.

Shayla,
Did you meet the Bookshare staff when you walked by, or did you think they were too busy?

I walked by the Bookshare table in the exhibit halls yesterday--you guys were swarmed! I heard many positive things being said about Bookshare and us volunteers, and half the vendors in the hall were using Bookshare book compatibility as a selling point for their products.
I forgot how many dogs there can be at CSUN. Though for my book the cane users are the biggest hazard. Tip from me to you--if your cane strikes something doNOT whack it and keep walking. It might be someone's DOG. My poor girl. Oi. Blind people. S

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
