Very nice, Weezie. I got some benefit from that passage that you read. Thank you! Have you given any more thought to reading for the Canadian radio talking library? I do think you should. :)
Reading for the Blind and DyslexicsirsheepshapeAugust 3 2007, 08:44:58 UTC
I'm in Pennsylvania, not Canada, but Weezie and I once discussed the possibility of her reading for the Canada Blind Assn. out of Ottawa. She has the link for that; however in the meantime you might want to check out this other page that I Googled on the same topic: www.humanware.ca if they aren't the appropriate agency, I'll bet they know who is. Or again, Googling the Ministry of Health, or Human Services (I don't know what you call it up there, here in the USA it's the cabinet level department of health & human services); or your manifestation of the USA's Library of Congress. Good luck in your search; and if I find anything else that would be helpful, I'll post here again.

I said it once, and I'll say it again; Weezie, you have a wonderful voice and a great cadence for reading text in an understandable manner. This is a Gift, and you should think once again about putting it to use for the greater good. If you can't lihk up with the Canadian Library for the Blind, you might consider contacting someone at the University in Vancouver (which name escapes me presently, eh?) and seeing if you could read and record books for blind students. My mother did this when I was young - I remember laying in bed and hearing her read into the mic of the old reel-to-reel tape recorder. She'd do a couple of chapters, then take the tapes down to the college for the students' use. Something to think about.
