[stylist] November's Monthly Telephone gathering- a very goodinterview

[Pat Harmon]

The phone conference was wonderful!  I am uncertain if I was counted amongst 
the attendees.  My fingers moved too slowly over the keys as I dialed in. 
It had started when I got connected; the charge ran out too early.  I must 
buy a new "regular" apparatus!

I was "Blind Educator of the Yeear" in 1991.  It was my first convention; it 
was in New Orleans.  What a shock to be so honored!Do you believe I should 
write a piece for"The Monitor" about retirement in Jersey?  (I was in New 
Mexico--and I knew Fred Schroeder then.

The meetings are always thought-provoking!
