Catherine, You're doing an excellent job with this list and you are to be commended. I just read your email, and you left out a very important point: Peoples' fingers have to be sensitive in order to feel the vibrations of the letters; unfortunately, people who lose their sight later in life do not have the necessary finger sensitivity. They can barely read braille--most need to use the jumbo dots. I sent Richard my typewriter attachment for repair, so I hope he can get it back to me by the end of the month. Otherwise, I will have to get my boyfriend to fill out my rent check. Take care, and keep up the great work.
