[nfbmi-talk] mcb financials updated may 23

Funny, this thread about broadcasting. I seem to recall an MCB counselor 
specificly telling me that there was no future for blind folks in 
broadcasting because the larger market stations wouldn't take a chance on 
us. Someone which several of you know, Mike Patton worked at WSGW in Saginaw 
and at the campus radio station at CMU in Mount Pleasant, I wonder what his 
thoughts on this venture might be.
