[NFB-Seniors] Today's Call

Sun Jul 19 17:43:00 UTC 2020

I think 6 scholarships were given; two Boloton awards.  I actually lost
track. A giggly conversation with my friend Norma Crosby.

Well at least we showed "the other side" our transparency.  I am afraid
only of membership in both groups.  I would hope we could keep a known ACB
from holding office.
