Hi Gene,
You are very welcome. That's what the echo is all about. When I think of 
the things that are unknown by disabled individuals and their parents, 
kept arcane by teachers, I just jump up and down and scream. I believe in 
teaching people how to fish, not fishing for them. What happens if i"m 
not there?
Be glad to help in any way I can, so don't hesitate to ask. Oh, if 
Library of Congress, 1291 Taylor NW, Washington, D.C. 20542 and your 
local regional library can't help, try RNIB, the Royal National Institute 
for the Blind in London. Don't have their address at hand but can get it 
if you need it. Also you might try the National Braille Book Bank on 
University Avenue in Rochester, NY 14607, and if you are interested in 
any type of religious stuff, stories about the bible, C.C.D. stuff, et 
al, there are a multitude of places that carry stuff from many religious 
groups, Christian and jewish. 
Hope that this additional info helps. Take care and always pretend you're 
from Missouri, "seeing is believing". See you on-line.
Ann P.
P.S.
I heard one the other day that leaves me speechless. A blind ham friend 
of mine who frequents 37.72, got a call from a short wave listener who 
said that he had been told, ever since he had lost his sight, eight years 
ago, that blind people couldn't use ham radios or computers! Where do 
these incompetent people come from, I'd like to know?
A.K.P.
