[Flagdu] It is with great sadness...

[Sherri]

Sherrill, I always appreciated Dave's hard work both in FLAGDU and as the 
keeper of the channels portion of our NFBF Newsline. I couldn't agree more 
with your very heart-felt expression of condolence. We also will miss him on 
the Leader Dogs list, as he contributed valuable input to that list as well.
