We recently learned that Ben Rockwell, from Long Beach recently passed away. The AAC's Cynde Soto passed along a letter from the pastor of the church they both attended.

If you want a braille copy of the letter, please contact me through the Metro fan site and I'll make sure you get a copy.

At some point, we can determine where to put people like Ben who have had an impact on the disability community like he has for so many years. The letter talks about a little of his work.

Please enjoy this 11 minute podcast, and yes, the track was changed to fit the mood.

We'll have more podcasts very soon here, thanks so much for listening!

If you have not read Man sentenced for fatally stabbing woman on Metro train in Studio City in the news, that is what this podcast is going to talk about.

We always read bad news, and I remember when this happened and we sent it to the L.A. Metro Communications list. But sometimes we don'g hear the end.

This podcast shares the article linked within, and when PSAC took a meeting to adjourn in her memory.

Thanks so much for listening, make it a great day!

Preston Gaylor made an apperance during an AAC meeting, then starting work for me shortly after with organizational tasks.

Sometimes, the simple jobs can be the most boring, even I went through that phase but need that help.

While we're off for the holiday break, and there are no scheduled meetings, please feel free to join me in an informal interview right here on the podcast. I'll also air it across the JRN on a future program there.

As we conclude another year, we reflect on this podcast's short time here and invite users to contribute their thoughts as well.

I'm not going anywhere, and I know that we'll see how things go.

If you want comments aired, I give you info on how to do this from within the podcast, and I discuss where we are in our numbering scheme although we do not put episode numbers within this podcast.

We discuss what happened during the AAC meeting with the understanding that things will be more clear when the minutes are concluded and made available for us to deal with in February.

I would normally write this up, but I'm still irritated at the events that took place that an audio version is better.
