Bookshare on CBS news Thanks you, Janice. For a moment I thought maybe I was going crazy. Maybe I was remembering your post about how to write to Matthieu and mixing it up with news about the CBS bit--or was that from someone else, too? Is there a charity or something one can donate in memory of Gustavo, or would bookshare be the best choice--it seems probably that should be the one we should donate to.
