[Perform-Talk] ncis episode on cbs

[Amy Sabo]

yes, gary this is a very good idea imo but, I don't think I should be
the one to write this article or somewhat like this mater to the
braille monitor. even though I started this thread I think that
someone on the board like Julie or someone to do this! but, if not
then I would behappy to do it for the monitor if Julie or someone
feels I should do so.....



thanks,
amy
