[Nfbmo] The Passing of a Friend

[Gary Wunder]

When I joined the national Federation of the blind back in 1972, I was
encouraged to participate actively by Mary Willane. Many of you know her as
Mary Lewis. Mary has struggled for the last decade with an embolism and
repeated strokes. At 9:45 this morning she gave up the fight. I will provide
more information as I get it about funeral arrangements, and I will do what
I can to write an article for her that we may wish to run in the Blind
Missourian.
