[Jayhawk-chapter] Fwd: Lawrence Journal-World: Brownback Appoints Two Lawrence Residents to State Boardsh

[Sidney Roedel]

Rob!  Too bad -- you get a big pat on the back anyway!  GOOD FOR YOU!!

I think it's wonderful that both you and Tom are on the state independent
living council.  I know you will take full advantage of the opportunity to
help Governor Brownback understand  what a miserable mess he and his
administration have made of acknowledging the need for funding social
services, in general, and services for the blind in particular.  I know you
and the other members of the committee will find ways to convey a strong
but diplomatic message to him.  We know that you have and will use
your great diplomatic skills, Rob.

We are lucky to have you as our president! Thanks for all you do for us.

Sidney
