A great place to spread the word about the Optacon preservation project would be at the various national conventions of blind consumers and also rehab and teaching professionals. If anyone on the list plans on attending any of the conventions and would like to spend a little time spreading the word about the Optacon, please let me know. The simplest thing to prepare would be a single-page announcement in Braille and also large print. We need volunteers to compose, emboss, photocopy and of course distribute such announcements. There isn't much time so let me know if you are interested immediately. It may even be possible to demonstrate the use of the Optacon to interested persons. Let me know soonest what you can do. Most of the conventions have a literature table. It may be as simple as dropping off leaflets in the correct room. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help. P.S. THINK OF THE CORPSES WE COULD DIG UP.
