[nabs-l] NFB Training Center

[Darian Smith]

all, Cindy was    absolutely correct; there are a couple of articles
in the 2010 student slate  (see atatchment) that  might prove helpful
here.
 I encourage you to  take a moment and check out the slate, it
certainly is  very imformitive and the  cast of many that help to  put
  it together for us have done a great job on this one!
 Best,
  Darian
