[NFBMT] I have a big problem

[BRUCE&JOY BRESLAUER]

Thanks for your kind words, Dan.  I'm just changing gears a bit, not going
away.  LOL We miss you, too.  Hopefully we'll get to Colorado some day and
maybe even get to a convention.

Joy -

I want to acknowledge a couple of things in your e-mail. First, I can tell
you from my own experience how difficult it is to step away from the
Presidency of the NFB of Montana, having done so myself. And it was difficult
for me to do so just as we were getting started, free to be a true NFB
affiliate at long last.  But that's also part of living the lives we want -
our families, our spouses - these are part of why we are active in the NFB I
think, at least for me. I am obviously very happy with the woman I love. And
she understands what it meant for me to step down and move to Colorado.

Next, I also need to acknowledge what you said - it can't be all up to you. I
had to come to terms with that too - that the NFB of Montana would go on and
grow without me, that there were others that would step up.

And so next I want to acknowledge that you have done that - stepped into the
role as NFB of Montana President and kept it going and growing. No, of course
you didn't do it alone, but you took the responsibility on of being President
and you've accomplished much.
Need we mention Montana's first-ever BELL Academy in 2017? (grin)

Three cheers for you for all that you have done and accomplished as President
Joy! But also know tht if you step down now or in the future, the NFB of
Montana will go on, and you'll be helping.

 Montanans always step up.

Have a great convention this weekend. I wish I could be there this year, but
I'll be in Baltimore. I miss you Montana!

Dan
