[NHLakesChapter] Ed Meskys Passing

[Andrew Harmon]

Ed was definitely one of a kind. I remember many nights after state
and national convention where we'd spend hours sharing stories, about
NFB and other things. I'm going to miss that wonderful, wacky old man
and his bear slippers....

Also hope Sandy's doing as good as she can be during this and please
let us know if she needs anything.
