[KeyStoneChapter] Keystone Chapter Meeting Recap

[David Goldstein]

Hello there Keystone Chapter Members and Friends,

Please excuse my lateness in getting this recap out. We had a very informative hybrid meeting Saturday at the Penn Museum and via Zoom. We heard Presidential Release #515 <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/2022-04/april_2022_live_release_short_final.mp3> and in the spirit of blind racecar driver Dan Parker’s recent speed record, Joe added a little speed to the release. We listened to the Kernel book “Is The Baby Alright?” <https://nfb.org/images/nfb/audio/kernel_books/kern15/08_is_the_baby_alright.mp3> and then discussed it. Here are all the major topics and links we talked about:
