A 72 year old gentleman living with ALS is writing a book. Because of his ALS, he is unable to hold a book. He hopes there is someone who would be willing to spend an hour once or twice a week reading source material to him; this material will be comprised of local historical writings, theology books, and the Bible. While not a requirement, he would prefer someone who agrees to have the reading taped so he could refer back to it later.
