[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Durable Braille Paper

[Georgia Kitchen]

Hi Pauline, this is Georgia Kitchen. I hope you’re doing well. I’m hanging
in there. I used to transcribe for Flint schools by hand. I learned off a
lot but the only paper that I would use at times with the American Thermal
Form paper. It’s not a thing as it used to be, but it’s sticky. It’s
adhesive on one side it’s meant for labeling things You get 50 pages of it
for $50 so it’s pretty expensive. I don’t know what else to tell you to use
unless they can you know read easier with their BRF files like in their E
reader that’s it. That’s a tricky one. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. My
husband died so unfortunately I probably won’t be down to the Detroit
meetings, I normally go to conventions, but my health has not been the
greatest and I’m very limited on what I can can eat so I probably will do
the convention online. I’m thanking God that they have the zoom available.
It makes it it makes it really nice Anyway please say hello to everybody
for me. I haven’t talked to too many people lately from the Detroit chapter
once in a while, I will talk to Lily and Quickly anyway take care. See you
later bye-bye.
