[rehab] Blind Counselor Releases Memoir About College Experiences

[David Andrews]

Dick:

Your thoughts are always valued by me.  I did put the line "I have 
been asked to circulate the following" at the beginning, to indicate 
that the message did not originate, or is endorsed by me.  Similar to 
the "we have been asked to carry the following ..." that the Monitor 
uses.  I would hope that most of our list users have enough 
sophistication to understand that materials on lists come from a 
variety of sources.  However, my steps may not be enough -- opinions 
appreciated.

Dave
