Greetings Federationists

It is with deep sadness that I must report the passing of Dr. Larry
Streeter, who died on April 25, 2011. Dr. Streeter had been ill for a while
and eventually succumbed to walking pneumonia. While many of us were aware
that he was battling this illness, most of us were unaware of its severity,
and his death was a shock.

While currently residing and serving our organization in the state of
Indiana, Larry has facilitated our movement in several leadership
capacities, including serving for approximately  5 years as president of the
Idaho affiliate. He was a friend, a mentor and a strong advocate of our
philosophy. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed; indeed, one of
the key players in our movement.

He was employed by the Indiana School for the Blind and visually Impaired as
its assistant superintendent, and all of the kids loved him.

Please keep Mrs. Streeter and their family in your prayers.
