Ok, first we have a subject line of waterproofing the Braillenote.  Next
we are all discussing Helen Keller, a noteworthy and highly accomplished
human being, no one would deny that.  However, what does this have to do
with the subject of this list?

         Hi.  I received a cassette containing Helen Keller reciting the

23rd Psalm, and giving a speech in Australia, from the archivist at the 
American Foundation for the Blind.  Her speech is quite understandable 
after awhile, although at first it's tedious to listen to.

Sadly, I can't even remember the name of the archivist, as I forgot to
even 
send her a thank-you.  Now, my Helen Keller cassette is quite a bit more

rare, as most of the Helen Keller archives were destroyed in the 9-11
attack.

Linda, where have you heard Ann Sullivan?  As A hobby, I collect
recordings 
of famous people's voices.  Anybody know where I can get recordings of 
Alexander Graham Bell or Albert Einstein?
