[nabs-l] Sad news, from my DSO

[Joshua Lester]

Mr Jacobson, I'm checking it out, and hopefully I'll have my Braille
books, for next semester.
It's not a problem, now.
I've E-mailed the DSO, about the National Braille Association, and she
knows about APH, as well, as NBP.
We're working on it, the best we can.
Blessings, Joshua
