[Nebraska-Senior-Blind] Ruth Sager Service Information

[Linda Mentink]

Thanks, Jamie.  She was originally from Wisconsin, so I knew her 
name from things she was in at school.  She would have been five 
years ahead of me.  I sent the information to our Alumni person 
in chege of our memorial services at reunions.  Who knows if 
we'll have another reunion, but we're keeping track anyway!

Subject: [Nebraska-Senior-Blind] Ruth Sager Service Information

For your information.

All,
 Please find information concerning the services for Ruth Sager 
below.
 Many of you know her from her service as the President of the 
NFB
 Seniors Division.  Others may know her from her time in 
Maryland,
 Louisiana, Connecticut, Virginia, or other places she spent
 significant time helping blind people live the lives they want.  
She
 touched so many lives, shaped so many lives, had a tremendous 
impact
 on so many.  She shared with several of us in her last weeks how
 important it was to her that the world understood that blind 
people
 can live full and productive lives.  She wanted that message to 
be her
 legacy.  I think that legacy lives on in the thousands of people 
for whom
she made that concept a reality.
