[gui-talk] anyone know Woody Anna Dresner?

[Geetha Shamanna]

Joel,

I am slightly behind with my e-mails, hence this rather late response.

Anna Dresner has authored/co-authored several books for National Braille 
Press, more recently some books about using ITunes or Annapod explorer or 
some such thing. She is subscribed to the BlindIpod list of which I am a 
member too.

yes, I know that, Dave. She even said so on thee air. I was just trying to
figure out which lists she hung out on, that's all. Wasn't trying to track
down her employment. Does anyone know where that unusual name comes from?
Woody Anna? When I first saw it as her email handle on a mailing list, I
thought it was one of those corny combo email handles that married couples
who use the same account like to put together. You know, Woody and his wife
Anna. But no, that's her name.

I believe she works for National Braille Press, NBP.
