[athen] FW: text to speech

[Berkowitz, Daniel J]

Howdy all - 

The following message came to the DSSHE-List and is a very good example
of the kind of information ATHEN could provide via the website,
memberships in the organization, consulting resources, etc. 

BTW - I like the logo, but would prefer to see a simpler graphic version
such as the one used by the ATPC. The long logo is good for letterheads
and banners and the short graphic would be good for promo items such as
shirts and mugs.

students

Audio
