[CT-NFB] #NFB20 -- Connecting With the Heartbeat of the Federation

[Mary Silverberg]

Hello All,
I agree, Anil Lewis is a bright, articulate and lovely man.
My first encounter with him was  early on in attending the Washington
Seminar.  He took two or three of us with  him to one of the meetings with
our legislators.
I watched how someone with experience, some history  and much knowledge
conducted himself.  I am still impressed!
My second  encounter was  when  Anil came to Hartford to join us on an
appointment that I had  arranged with the two staffs together from our
national  senators.

Afterwards, we went out to lunch together.  He is a role model to be sure.
Mary
