CORRECTIONS
In the September 2009 issue of "The Braille Forum," Ron Milliman wrote an article on the ACB MMS Program entitled “Who Won the Olympus Digital Recorder?” That article recognized all of the new contributors to the program as well as those who increased their monthly pledges. Missing from that list was a very loyal ACB member and one of the very first to support the MMS program from its inception in 2002 – Ed "Doc" Bradley of Houston, Tex. The list of names provided was inadvertently missing Ed Bradley's name, an omission for which we sincerely apologize.
Also in the September issue of the Forum, there was an announcement in "Here and There" regarding availability of products from the Royal National Institute of Blind People. Bay Area Digital is not the only vendor for products from the RNIB; Independent Living Aids has been carrying some of their products for the past decade. We apologize for any confusion our error may have caused.
