Since Mayrie posted here that she was wrong--she thinks--I'll post here that in fact she was correct, though neither she nor I knew where that info was posted. Chela found a Wish List page on bookshare that I only found by putting Wish List in the Search bookshare site. It's an old notice that says, also, that there will be a request form added. I've written to John G. to ask him to revise that notice to have people send requests either to the volunteer list, if they want to join, or to my hifriend@xxxxxxxxx address.
