[gui-talk] anyone know Woody Anna Dresner?

[Joel Deutsch]

I have seen this woman on other blind technology mailing lists to which I'm 
not subscribed at the moment, but I also feel as if I've seen her posting 
here occasionally over the years. Maybe I misremember. Maybe she lurks? I 
know she's supposed to have some access tutorials posted on the Web as 
podcasts, or some instruction books?

But this seems the most likely list where I could mention that I heard her 
on National Public Radio this morning, as the contestant on the word puzzle 
segment with crossword puzzle master Will Shortz. Like a lot of NPR 
listeners, I hear this every Sunday morning, and I was surprised and 
delighted for someone I actually knew, sort of, to pop up as a contestant 
who'd won the weekly lottery to be on the air by answering a word puzzle in 
email.

Anyway, she did a great job, coming up with correct answers to a series of 
word and letter rearrangement problems, hesitating only on one of the entire 
series of questions, as I recall. That was a lot of fun. So if anyone knows 
her, congratulate her. I'm not sure if the segment is included with the 
segments/articles/features NPR keeps on the site for streaming under the 
program name (MWeekend Edition Sunday, in this case).!
