I thought some of you might be interested in this.  I guess you could chat 
about amateur radio on this line if you wanted to.

chat line for the blind

HI ALL. IN ADDITION TO MY WORK FOR VIP CONDUIT, I HAVE STARTED A NEW PHONE
CHAT LINE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. AS WE ALL KNOW,
BLIND PEOPLE AND PHONES GO HAND IN HAND AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS
LINE SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SORT OF NICE TO USE THIS LINE AS ANOTHER WAY
FOR BLIND PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO MEET. WE TRY TO KEEP SOMEONE ON
THE LINE MOST OF THE TIME AND I THOUGHT PERHAPS SOME OF YOU MIGHT WANT TO
SHARE IT WITH YOUR LISTENERS. THE NAME OF THE LINE IS TALKSHOP AND THE
NUMBER FOR THE LINE IS:
(217) 238-6292. THE LINE IS NEW AND IT IS OCCASIONALLY DOWN WHILE FEATURES
ARE ADDED BUT WE HAVE ALREADY MET SOME GREAT FOLKS AND FIND THAT THE PEOPLE
ON THE LINE ENJOY MEETING OTHERS AND SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE DISCOVERED LONG
LOST FRIENDS AND SCHOOL MATES. HOPE YOU CAN SPREAD THE WORD A BIT BECAUSE IT
IS TURNING OUT TO BE A NEAT PLACE FOR BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED FOLKS TO
HANG OUT.

PEGGY FAIN
