Hi y'all, some oldies, some newbies. Liz Halperin here, now in Portland OR not Seattle anymore. Shelley, it was great to meet you in person at yourgraduation with Gwen. I go back in January for my next dog. E., nice to seeyou still here. I remember meeting you at a CSUN conference.I've been busy submitting all this time but avoided the list due to traffic volume. Signed up last night and overwhelmed already, going to leave again.BUT, can someone give me links to the wish list, to Jake's stuff whatever that is. Looks helpful. I've been, as always, just following my own interests and finding gaps in the collection and filling in. Currentlybuilding a library about transgender issues, will end with about 20 books Ithink. Interspersing those with some feminist stuff, some comparativereligions, some Latin. I just check the main search engine and The Books inProcessing Page, didn't know about these others. Obviously I've been off this list for a few years now! Hahaha! A couple other things. As a deaf-blind person, the various audio offerings aren't accessible to me. Does anyone know if Jim's gig was transposed to print/braille format? Secondly, my tag team partner who validated all my books for these manyyears is no longer a volunteer. I'm looking for a new validator to tag with,so books don't sit on the wait list forever. Thanks Shannon for just doing that BSO for me, and Guido is doing another now. But wondering if anyonewants to team up? The books I upload have already been carefully edited, noraw scans, they are ready to go. KES ratings usually up at 98% and higher.That's bec I only scan what I want to read, so I edit as I read, then do allthe checking steps. The stuff I put up rarely needs anything other than acursory check. Anyone interested in joining forces to validate? Minimal workon your end, easy validation credits. Lastly, since I wasn't on the lists, last year I found out about Gustavo after all the list people. Does anyone remember the actual date he died? I found out the day before returning to dog school for new dog, tore me up.(Shelley, that dog only lasted 2 months at home due to allergies and stress.Was re-evaluated, almost placed with your class, then retired as theallergies still present after 2 months back in kennels.) So I don't rememberGustavo's death anniversary date as I was in transit and such a wreck over it.... I want to know the date. I miss him terribly, we had an off listfriendship and I want to be sure to light a candle in his honor on the rightday. That's it. I'm looking forward to responses to all of my questions and requests. Then I'll sign off the list again. Liz, still scanning away....
