[Nfbf-l] Two Great Ladies

[PJ]

It is with such sadness that I write this:  two great ladies in the Florida blindness family have passed away this week.  Dawn Saunders was not only my DOE "go to" person but also a courageous women and great teacher.   And, Janet Caron? What a sweet spirit she was!  Just last year as I was accompanying her to the ladie's room at the national convention in Detroit, something that I had done many times over the years when Arlene wasn't available, she said to me that she thought it would be her last convention.  She said she was very tired and it was just too hard for her to travel so far from Florida. What fateful words!  Janet and Dawn...I will miss both of you and I hope that I showed you, while you were still with us, that you were loved!
