[nabs-l] History of the NFB

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Minh:

     Look at the book Walking Alone and Marching Together. It is on the NFB 
site. Start looking in the publications area. The first two or three 
chapters ought to get you started. You can also listen to and read the 
banquet speeches. Try Dr. Jernigan's 1973 speech Is History Against us. Hope 
this helps.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss

>  On an unrelated topic, I was thinking of taking a class on Vertual
