[Travelandtourism] upcoming changes to the division

[Mary Donahue]

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

	I have thought of someone else who was involved back in 2004.
Stephanie Scott was the original first vice president of the division from
Georgia. Maurice, you might know who I'm talking about.

There really isn't much  else, unless we can get past people involved with
this. I have posted everything that I could find in the Braille Monitor,
maybe some people who were involved back then that are still on this list,
that do not post, can possibly help us with this endeavor.
