[nfb-talk] need help with jaws

Sat Jul 2 03:22:30 UTC 2011

If you have finished high school or college you may find them on 
www.classmates.com. Additionally, if you attended more than one school you 
could search for the name of that school and the particular graduating 
classes you are interested in and find them that way. That site is totally 
accessible with JAWS and doesn't have the degree of extraneous material that 
is on the Facebook site.
