[Nfb-krafters-korner] Some Thoughts

[Laurie Porter]

When I had the idea about selling the recordings in mind, I realized that

the chit chat and/or small talk that happens at the classes etc so they 
would be edited  out along with the big gaps in the class when everyone is 
working. ----- Original Message -----
