Good morning, Listers, As you know, I am very careful to keep confidential all information as to who writes to us privately via my email address. If someone chooses to communicate and join the list it's strictly up to them. In this case I'm making an exception for the following reasons. The message below is from a person who was a very active Optacon user, both for himself and in teaching others. I really would like to know how such a person came to be so totally misled as to the fate of the Optacon. Also, some of you may know this man and wish to lend your support and your contacts. You will see by the message the importance of our outreach. Here it is.
