[Perform-talk] Offers of Help Declined

Fri Aug 26 21:54:44 UTC 2011

Mr Donnihugh, I'm all for top quality audio.
David didn't have to do this, but I'm glad someone recorded it.
I'll ask the division to let you record the talent show, next year, as
long as you have it put on the NFB official Website.
Was that you, that recorded the banquet address, last year?
Blessings, Joshua
