[stylist] Keynote speaker at White Cane

[Robert Newman]

Jim and others- No, Jerry Whittles performance was written by Jerry. I've
not gotten a chance to hear it, yet. I am sure my Louis's message is
different than Jerry's, but we shall see. Soon, in a day or so, I will be
able to give you a link to go to where you will be able to listen. A second
link that I will be providing is to a Utube page where a video of Louis
Braille can be viewed as he gives the speech. 

(So the Jerry Whittle version of Louis Braille was a recording? As in, Jerry
was not there, correct?)

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.
