That's really interesting Judy. I wonder if Amish Bibles are printed that 
way? They still read and speak German. I remember a while back there were a 
couple of kids that were students at the school for the blind in Wisconsin. 
I wonder if the Bibles they had which were braille, were in german code.

Someone mentioned the Museum of braille/reading materials for the blind. 
Curious, where was that museum? Sounds like an interesting attraction to
