[nfbwatlk] Announcement about our colleague, Dan Frye

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Dan and Renee,

Here's another congratulatory wish to you, Dan, and to Renee as well.  Dan, this is the type of job you have sought for a long time. You've had a number of positions that have worked well in preparing you to be one of the leaders in work for the blind in the country.  As others have said, it's too bad you're not coming back to Washington and/or the west coast, as we all could use your talent and expertise here, but I join all those who believe in you, and know you'll do well.  All the best on the move, and the new job.

/s/

Bennett Prows
