Below is an announcement from ACB Radio regarding next week's Main Menu
program featuring the tribute to Willie Wilson.  Willie Wilson founded Blink
Link, a BBS for blind users, in the late 80's, which served as foundations
for the Visually Impaired Pittsburgh Area Computer Enthusiasts.  I will have
an announcement forthcoming of the VIPACE meeting which will evolve around
this broadcast.
