in a  pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,  thoroughly used up,totally worn out, and
loudly proclaiming  --
WOW-- What a Ride!"

>My fellow Veterans, Friends and Associates, It is with a sad heart that 
>I must  tell you of the passing  of our NABV First Vice President 
>Clarence Eugene Huggins of Sumter South Carolina this morning about 8am 
>. Gene as he liked to be called  was a gregarious tall man who lost his 
>sight due to diabetes which was a direct result of his military service 
>in Viet Nam and his exposure to Agent Orange. Gene was a guide dog user 
>and his partner Mac was as  bodacious as his master. I once got a 
>picture of Gene  next to a motorcycle with side car in Atlanta Georgia  
>during the NFB convention there and his guide dog Mac was sitting in 
>the motorcycles sidecar . Those who could see the picture told me they 
>both were smiling. At this time I don't have any information about the 
>arrangements  for Gene's burial, but as soon as I have some information 
>I will pass it along. Gene's daughter Tanis said she thought his wishes 
>were to be buried at  the Fort Jackson National Cemetary in Columbia 
>South Carolina. Gene was a great friend and I am going to miss him 
>terribly, and his shoes will be hard to fill as his replacement  is 
>sought  for the National Association of Blind Veterans.
