[NFB-Braille-Discussion] I'm Kind of Excited

[Debbie Gabe]

Hi Peter,

I facilitate the NFB of Hawaii's All about Braille zoom meeting on the first
Saturday of each month at 12 noon Hawaii time (3 pm west coast time and 6 pm
east coast time).  

Would you be interested and willing and able to come talk to the group some
month about how you became a braille proofreader? And exactly what you do in
your job? Maybe talk for about 20 minutes and then take any questions for
another 15 or 20 minutes or so?

Let me know offline at debbiegabe at live.com

Thanks. And stay safe.
Debbie Gabe

Hi Jen, I'm Peter Russillo in Florida; I got my proofreading certification
in 1986; I started proofreading work at Braille International in 1981 until
they closed in 2012; I now work from home proofreading for American Printing
House in Louisville and Clovernook in Cincinnati, Ohio; I took the UEB test
in 2016 after taking the Hadley course for transitioning from EBAE to UEB; I
had to do the test a couple times before I passed it; If you have questions
about proofreading please don't hesitate to send me an email off-list at

The best of luck as you keep going with the proofreading course.


Yours truly, Peter Russillo

updates as I go along. After my Lesson Two exercise is evaluated, I'll get
an instructor. I would love to hear about experiences from those of you who
took the course in the past.
