I, too am glad you all are safe. Knowing bookshare volunteers and members are
from all around the country, whenever I hear on the news about things like
tornadoes and hurricanes I worry about all of you.
Do we have people from other parts of the world? I think maybe from Hawaii, but
anywhere else? No one affected by thea earthquake ff the Ne Zealand coast?
