A message from Anna Dresner to friends of NBP:

Hello everyone,

I have thoroughly enjoyed writing and editing books for National Braille
Press for the past eleven years. I have learned a great deal, and am
glad to have had the chance to help people learn some of the exciting
technologies that have come out during this time. I have also enjoyed
getting to know many of you. It's been a very rewarding job.

However, I have been offered the opportunity to provide technical
support for the National Library Service Braille and Audio Reading
Download program. I am excited by this opportunity, and will be starting
to work for NLS very soon.

I am thrilled to tell you that the person who will replace me at
National Braille Press is Dean Martineau.  From the Battery High audio
newsletter he produced for Braille 'n Speak users starting in the late
1980s to his popular demonstration of the iPhone for Tek Talk a few
months back, Dean has demonstrated that he is an excellent teacher who
is willing to share skills that blind people need and want to learn. I
know that the books he writes for National Braille Press will be clear,
relevant, and helpful.

Because both Dean and I have a great interest in the iPhone, we are now
working together to produce an iPhone book for NBP that we hope will
come out this fall. I am delighted to have the chance to work with Dean
on this project.

Thank you all for your support, and have a wonderful summer.

All the best,
Anna
