One thing is for sure... If the locater, or whatever you call it, didn't work correctly, some poor blind soul, probably a list member, might get hit by a car, and his/her Bookport would get smashed! Please forgive the tongue in cheek remark, but I couldn't resist. It's on topic... sort of... now.

The county installed a beeper and within a day took it down because of a noise complaint. Your correspondence has relit my lamp, and I'm going to insist on at least a remote device that will make its noise only by IF or IR device. Anyone have reliable equipment providers?

Sandy Licht Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A .11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14 I will be found by you," says the Lord.
