Robert...

Your choice of songs was more interesting than you knew.  The Hamm 
family have been big supporters of the Communication Center, here in 
Minnesota since 1953, the year you and I were born.  The 
Communication Center, first a nonprofit, and now a part of Minnesota 
State Services for the blind has been involved with recording text 
books and other materials, putting things in Braille, starting the 
world's first radio reading service, and operating dial-up 
telephone-accessed services including NFB Newsline.  We still get 
money, annually from the Hamms, so your choice of music had double meaning.
