Hi Jackie,

No Lana isn't deaf-blind or at least I assume not.  She spoke of having a 
microphone.  But I only know her from the bookshare-discuss list.  I will 
forward your message to her, Jackie, because I don't think she is on this 
list.

Thanks much,

Sue S.

Sue:

Have your friend contact me off list at
abletec@xxxxxxxxx
& we'll see what's up.

BTW, in case you're wondering, I also made the same assumption as
Scott.  Is Llana deaf-blind also?
