RIP Maithe. I only talked to you once, but you seemed like a vivacious woman, brimming with life and vitality. You will be missed.

Someone said that Bud had been spotted recently on another blind related list. I forget which one and I am not subscribed to it, whichever one it is, because I have not personally spotted him since the last time I did on the Bookshare lists and that has been a long time now.

Please add my condolences Cindy P.S. her passing reminds me. I asked before but haven't heard; does anyone know anything about --darn; at this moment I can't remember his name (I did when I wrote earlier to ask) but he lives (I hope it's still present tense) in Malibu, if I remember correctly, and was housebound; his wife went to the library to get books for him to scan; he, too was(is?) an active volunteer, and a member of our geriatric club. That's why I'm worried. He is, or was, one of our older members, if I remember correctly from the various conversations and reminiscences we older folk had on the list (providing a bit of history for you younger folk smile.
