[nabs-l] Trouble forming an Association of Blind students for my state

Wed Sep 7 22:41:48 UTC 2011

I know! Probably David's so tied down with Audio Access Radio that he
doesn't mess with nabslinkaudio.org that much, nor does he have time
to. Hopefully he will see this and tell us what's up. But, you can
email him at djdrocks4ever at gmail.com or djd at audioaccessradio.com
