I liked Charlie Weaver's letters "from home," too.

That's too bad. Sounds like a wonderful book! There's a book I'm looking
for too, and it's not on BARD either. It's Charlie Weaver "Letters From
Mama." As far as I know, it was never in any accessible format, but it's a
book my family had for a long time, and as a child I remember different
members of my family, and one particular friend of mine reading it to me.
Those on this list who probably remember Charlie Weaver and liked him I'm
sure would appreciate it. I would love to maybe find an audio CD of that,
or even if I could find an old print copy and have someone read it onto a
digital recorder and have it converted to MP3 perhaps. We could see about
doing that with the cat book too. Anyway, everyone take care.

I don't know where you would find it now. I read it in hardcopy Braille some
30 years ago in the library of the Orientation Center For The Blind in
Albany California. I hope they still have that copy, a comb-bound,
single-sided transcriptionist brailled copy. I suspect the transcriber
brailled it on a standard perkins brailer some time in the 1970s. It was a
paper copy, not thermoformed sheets.
