[nfb-talk] More Information On Walk Pro Posted

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Karen:

We broadcast from 8:00-10:00 PM Eastern time. Also, a correction: My interview with the WalkPro guy will actually begin at 8:30 Eastern. I apologize--I was looking as the wrong interview schedule when writing my original post about this.

Chris
