[Nfb-new-hampshire] Nfb-new-hampshire Digest, Vol 48, Issue 2

[Chelsey Duranleau]

Hello everyone,

Ed: I know the De Long twins-- they were campers at a summercamp that
I work at (Inter-Actions). If one (or both of them) will be there this
summer, I'll be able to talk to their mother; I'm sure she would love
to join!

Penny, I will definitely pass this on!

Chelsey
