[Mt-blind] Something to think about

[dmgina]

Hi there,
Turn it around Dan,
We have a sighted secretary.
I am asking if it is ok to have the secretary note put on a disk in text 
format.
When I was secretary I made sure that the sighted got print copies.
Even sending the information to them so they could print in what ever style 
they felt best.
Our secretary here loves other writing styles, can't think of the name.
I just don't want us to loose out.
