[nfbmi-talk] bell program

[Pauline Smith]

I intended to send a reply to this message at the time that I saw it but I didn't get a chance to. One of the consequences of not having a home computer so I am replying to it now. I would love to see this program here in Michigan and if we have a session here in the Detroit area, I would definitely get involved. Once a week or two of vacation time off from my normal braille teaching duties.
