Daniel, I have a similar audience. I'm in rural upstate New York and
some of our factory workers were born here but are functionally
illiterate. They know their jobs and are good at them, but some
operations must be broken down into their simplest and most direct one-
or two-page versions with pictures and circles and arrows.

Peter
