[Nfbmo] Passing of Mike Freeman

[DanFlasar at aol.com]

I read with great dismay of Mike Freeman's  passing.  My first contacts 
with him involved NFB-MO discussion list issues  - and as a list manager 
myself, he impressed me greatly with his knowledge of  list esoterics, his 
patience in pursuing the means to untie knotty problems  and his skill in assuring 
anxious users.   I always made a point to  listen to the NFB Convention 
governing board meetings - Mike's distinctive voice  lent gravitas to his 
well-considered comments and questions.  I certainly  didn't agree with him all 
the time - but it was always clear that he had taken  the due diligence to 
support his positions.
 
      I only had the chance to speak to him in  person a few times.   I'll 
miss his leadership - and wry sense of  humor.
