Go to www.afb.org and go to the link that says "Helen Keller" without the quotes of course. From there you will find lots of correspondence to and from lots of people--I saw a letter by Mark Twain--or is that SAm Clemmens? Anyhow, you can also find an online edition of The Story Of My Life--which I am in the middle of copying and pasting from the web site into a keyword file--the whole thing, including all the letters and such. It's a neat book. I also think there's another book but I can't remember the title. No audio recordings of her though <sigh>. Would love to have heard her. Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to hear about my trip to her home Ivy Green. Not the list ... :)
