Braille Technical Press was my summer Braille reading practice from 
age 12 forward.

I recall thinking how cool it would be to be close enough to his 
school so that Bob Gunderson could teach me to do all that stuff. 
That, of course never happened, but it was fun thinking about it 
anyway.

I wanted to build something from one of his articles just to say I had 
done it. My only success in that department was a 15 meter dipole made 
from a piece of zip cord.

Once, in the mid 1970's, I started a project of getting the recorded 
edition copied from record over to audio cassette, using records from 
my talking book library. For whatever reason, they sent me the final 
issue first. I think I made it through maybe the last 2 years before 
something called going to work interrupted me, and I never tried to 
finish it.

Of course, those tapes are now as long gone as the records.

Anybody for tackling getting them onto MP3 files?
