But a friend of mine was surprise to see so few comments and or words of condolences in memory of our brother. After all, he was a long time NFB member and when he was well, he attended the Columbia chapter meetings. I dubbed him the Blind Peoples DJ. I’ll miss him and regret not going to visit with him at the Lowman Home. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> NFBofSC <nfbofsc-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mike and Jean via NFBofSC<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, October 9, 2024 9:57 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'NFB of South Carolina Mailing List' <nfbofsc@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Mike and Jean <mjs1981@sc.rr.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFBofSC] We Kare Committee condolences<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will really miss big ern.
