Ken,
Let me try to get caught up with all this. Neither of my talking book
tape players are working so I have no use for the tapes. Perhaps I will
give them to Ed and they can do a better job digitizing them than I
can. And, to be clear, I never presented them to the national office.
I did not understand that is what you wanted me to do with them. And at
the time I was focusing only on the banquet address which the national
office does not want to post on the website. I think it would be very
appropriate for the JTL to include it in their collection. As for the
other recordings I think they should be up on line. Surely they can do
a better job of digitizing them than I did. The Teamsters speech was
great and of great importance historically. And I have no idea why Why
I Am a Federationist is not already on the website. It's classic
Federation literature.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Orlando.
Michael
