[humanser] Tips on Presentations & Braille

[Jan Bailey]

Check out vendors in your state. MN has lots of vendors, but I don't know 
about your state. Hadley is good, but it takes a long time, because  you 
have to wait for lessons to be mailed to you. I've taught many people 
Braille, so it can be done, but it does take some time to get your speed up.
