[Moderator's note. Thanks Rosemary and I second your thanks to "everyone
else." Other list members may continue to provide support in various ways,
although I have liked the fact that, with grant funding, we provided a
"non-aligned" source of information and tried to keep things
non-commercial as much as possible. I'll be sure to post the names of
other lists and sources of information as they come in. Bob Follansbee]
I'd just like to say a big"Thank You" to you, everyone else connected with
this listserv.
It is a pity that the listserv could not get funding to continue as there
are a lot of people out here who have children with perplexing learning
problems that are not being addressed by the education/remedial systems.
Your listserv went a long way to helping these people get information and
help. (I am one of them).
So thank you everyone, and best wishes for the future of speech
recognition
in education.
Rosemary Mullens
