Subject: RE: BS: Help Request: Videos for Stroke Survivor
Thanks, Guest, I don't mind the odd idea or two. :~) I'm a great one for recruitinghelpers/I mean getting people involved.

I'll ask Mrs. Client to look at the local library. Gets her out and gets her involved. She's been a bit of a naysayer on ideas to help-- too literal-minded to deal well with the Stroke World which is more fluid and intuitive. Pls, she quite naturally thinks of Client as how he was, not how he is. I'm lucky-- I knew him superficially but with great chemistry before the stroke. He's all discovery, for me, so it's easy to spot what is working; it's right before my eyes.

And your idea reminds me-- he would probably love our PCN Tours, where the Pennsy Cable Network takes an hour at a time to cover all PA industries by following the assembly line with a narrated tour from their PR people. Oh yeah! PCN Tours have Martin Geetar, Mack Truck, Zippo Lighters, Orthey Autoharp, a couple of bell choir bells companies, and all manner of musical stuff as well as just about any industry one can imagine. I can tape those or find a parish volunteer who needs a way to help. I can ask high school faculty contacts to plumb their collections as well.

Your "alma mater" idea also works-- he had a long relationship as faculty in a couple of cool places. I'll float a note there as well.

With luck I can build a librbary of materials to use with more than one person-- I think I am on to something in how I see all of this.
