Perhaps I'm being repetitive here because I've told this story before, but it
adds to what Lori said and may givenew volunteers support to know they aren't
alone.
When I first started proofing , it as a long biography; it was filled with
names, some of which I recognized and many I didn't know. I like Lori, I used
Google search to check the spelling. I am sighted. I was almost finished with
the book when it dawned on me that I could get the book from my library and
checking the names in the book would be faster than using google. Too soon old,
too late smart. smile
