[il-talk] connie

[Mary Willows]

Hello Illinois Members:
I am so saddened to hear of the death of Connie Davis.  I have known her as 
a teacher for a long, long time.  Connie was very helpful to me when I ran 
NFB Camp at the national convention in
Chicago.  She was a very giving and sincere person who will truely be 
missed.
