[Blindtlk] Our friend Dick Edlund passes

[Gary Wunder]

His address when he was the National Treasurer was Box 11185, Kansas city, 
Kansas 66111. Being a big man with a rather booming voice, that was his 
familiar trademark. It was almost more familiar than our national office 
address for quite some time.
