[Nfbf-l] Passing of Johnnie Slayton

[Joe and Kitty King]

Joe and I were shocked on hearing the sad news of Johnnie Slaton's sudden 
passing.  We only knew her through telephone conferences, but certainly very 
much aware of her dedicated passion for standing up for the work of the NFB. 
She is a great loss to all of us.  Our sincere sympathy to her family and 
friends.

Kitty & Joe King
