>> With a heavy heart, I am informing you that a dear friend and great member of the Mountains & Plains Chapter has passed away. Jon Jon Asper was a very dedicated member of the NFB, often putting up his own money for fundraising for the Mountains & Plains Chapter. He has been a member for the last three years and immediately paid for a lifetime membership upon joining. He was a retired fire chief, who is blind throughout most of his life and Showed how someone who is blind can do anything they set their mind to. I worked with him directly inlearning adaptive equipment and we had many many times together we would laugh, cry and share. He will be greatly missed!
