[IL-Talk] FW: Braille Books Available

Fri Mar 10 00:27:24 UTC 2023

I just received a note from the husband of Wilma McAllister, who passed away in 2017. Wilma never became an active member, but she attended several Chicago Chapter meetings. Her husband would like to find homes for Wilma’s Braille books, which are listed below. He has arranged the titles in two lists, one with the simple title, and the other giving author, publisher, and copyright date. If you’re interested in any of these titles, or if you know someone who would like to have them, please let me know and I’ll pass your information on to Rick.
