<p class="MsoNormal">My fellow Veterans, Friends and Associates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is with a sad heart that I must tell you of the passing of our NABV First Vice President Clarence Eugene Huggins of Sumter South Carolina this morning about 8am . Gene as he liked to be called was a gregarious tall man who lost his
sight due to diabetes which was a direct result of his military service in Vie<span style="color:#1F497D">tn</span>am and his exposure to Agent Orange. Gene was a guide dog user and his partner Mac was as bodacious as his master. I once got a picture of Gene
next to a motorcycle with side car in Atlanta Georgia during the NFB convention there and his guide dog Mac was sitting in the motorcycles sidecar . Those who could see the picture told me they both were smiling. At this time I don’t have any information
about the arrangements for Gene’s burial, but as soon as I have some information I will pass it along. Gene’s daughter Tanis said she thought his wishes were to be buried at the Fort Jackson National Cemetary in Columbia South Carolina. Gene was a great
friend and I am going to miss him terribly, and his shoes will be hard to fill as his replacement is sought for the National Association of Blind Veterans.<o:p></o:p></p>
