<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear NFBK family,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I received a call early this morning from my niece
who informed me that my mother passed away last night at her home in Garden City
which she has occupied since 1968. She succumbed to a bout of squamous cell
cancer diagnosed about 11 months ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I am leaving on the train in the wee hours of
the morning, I will not be available for the Jayhawk chapter meeting this
Saturday, so I send my best to you all. However, I see no reason why I should
not be available to join the South Central chapter cultural food fest on July
24. It is wonderful to have your love and support.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best with love to all</FONT></DIV>
