Hello Mike and everyone,
I now have a cassette to digital-audio converter and can do this too. I
also have digital-audio software that will allow me to adjust the audio
quality in an effort to improve their listenability. Just wanted to offer.

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
