[Athen] LaTex and Accessibility - I need some help

[Heather Mariger]

I just wanted to thank you all for your generous responses and help
with this question. I am compiling a document with all of your suggestions
and comments and will share it with the instructor so we can figure out
where to go from here.

Thank you again,
H.
