[stylist] Keynote speaker at White Cane

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

all right, I have a question,
at our kansas state convention last weekend, we heard, through the 
magic of the interweb, the recording of I think Jerry Wittle playing 
Louis Braille.  same show?  so that was written by our own robert?

excellent job Robert.  some of us, being kansans, were of course 
poking fun at the french accent and that after two hundred years 
perhaps he could give up "zee smokeeng" but don't mind that!
the story of braille's life was told so well, especially highlighting 
the role of the hand punch  went in both ways.
