[nfbwatlk] Gary's Father

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

I am sorry to have to report that Gary's Father, Dale Mackenstadt has passed away. He has been in assistive and skilled nursing care for some time.

NFB of Washington Federationists will always have a place in our heart for Dale, as he donated a number of his model cars, that he made from scratch out of wood. These were valuable items in many of our auctions, and often made the Organization top dollar because of the fierce bidding for them.

I was proud to know Dale,  and knew him to be   a good father and grandpa as well.

Gary says that there won't be services for his father. If someone wants to remember Dale, he says we can contribute to the NFB affiliate. My thoughts and condolences go to the Mackenstadt family at this tough time.
