[NFBF-L] Congratulations to Sherri Brun and Sila Miller October 15, 2020

[Judith Hamilton]

Congratulations Sherri. I enjoyed the event last night and when they put
you and Sila's photos on the screen and I heard the wonderful words Marilyn
and Sheila Young spoke about you both, I thought this honor could not be a
better tribute to you both.
Way to Go!!!
