The old wall of words
“Nobody’s going to be knocking down the doors for it,” said Doug Rose, of the Humboldt Council of the Blind, last week. Paper dictionaries are obsolete. “The best thing I can think of is it can go to the recycling center. I think it’s past its time. Unless someone overseas wants it.”
Maybe the library will want it? Hard to imagine. Maybe, says Bollinger, he’ll be able to give it to a friend of his whose child is vision-impaired. “I think it might be quite good for a young person who’s learning Braille,” he said.
Jossem didn’t leave instructions for it. He died, said a caregiver, the day he was to update his will.

Thanks for the great tribute, Heidi. Harvey will be missed by his friends and those fortunate caregivers like myself who provided eyes for Harvey when needed. I will certainly miss the trips to the store, as well as the many “cat adventures” and crazy projects that Harvey had going.
