On Wednesday, November 23rd in the early morning, Steven Famiglietti and his partner Cory Richmond were stuck and killed by a speeding driver on Blue Hills Avenue. The driver has been charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter and reckless driving. For those of us who knew Steve this is of little solace. I first met Steve at Vision Dynamics at the beginning of my vision loss journey. I last saw him at the National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut state convention on November 4, 2022. If you knew Steve, he was as kind and caring the first time I met him as on the last. I personally got to know Steve well when I worked for Silver Lining Technologies. Our office was in the NEAT (New England Assistive Technology) building on the Oak Hill campus. Steve?s office was around the corner from mine. When I would eat lunch, I?d join the employees of NEAT. We had a grand time. Steve and I were the only people with guide dogs, so we had a lot to talk about. Steve was a kind and patient teacher of many assistive technology apparatuses for the blind and visually impaired. There are no words that describe how much he will be missed by me and all that new him. Below please find information on his wake and service. God bless you Steve, may he hold you in the palm of His hand.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/steven-famiglietti-obituary?id=38228872</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Best Regards,</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Maryanne Melley</p><p class=MsoNormal>> President</p><p class=MsoNormal>> National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut</p><p class=MsoNormal>> 860-212-5549</p><p class=MsoNormal>> maryanne.melley@gmail.com</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Together with love, hope, and determination, we transform dreams into reality</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>> CT-NFB mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>> CT-NFB@nfbnet.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>> http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>> To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for CT-NFB:</p><p class=MsoNormal>> http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/elevegnale%40sbcglobal.net</p><p class=MsoNormal>-------------- next part --------------</p><p class=MsoNormal>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...</p><p class=MsoNormal>URL: <http://nfbnet.org/pipermail/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org/attachments/20221128/0439aa87/attachment-0001.html></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Digest Footer</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>CT-NFB mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>CT-NFB@nfbnet.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ct-nfb_nfbnet.org</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>End of CT-NFB Digest, Vol 140, Issue 21</p><p class=MsoNormal>***************************************</p><p class=MsoNormal>Received: from 10.226.14.73</p><p class=MsoNormal> by atlas112.aol.mail.ne1.yahoo.com pod-id NONE with HTTPS;
