[DSM-Iowa] Email Version of Braille Monitor

Mon Oct 19 02:33:57 UTC 2020

I think there are two types of machines at the beginning  when we first started having cartridge machines, and  maybe some of them could take thumb drives and  some of them couldn’t. Some of them were called  advanced and I don’t know how so. Mine always has, had that feature.  I’ve never had a newer one. It may be that it will work fine. But you can always call the library  and check it out. Anyway glad you got some  subscriptions done.

I think many of the suggestions have been very good ones, but I believe we should also set up a project on Federation History and Philosophy!  I have just finished reading the October BRAILLE MONITOR, and I am moved!

Many of you have probably never had the opportunity to read a speech written and delivered by our founder, Dr.  Jacobus tenBroek.  Well, in October you will find one of his most fabulous ones:  WITHIN THE GRACE OF GOD!  Please read and study it!
