[Ohio-talk] Buckeye Update

[Wanda Sloan]

After Janette broke her arm and several ribs , she was immediately sent home
the very next day.  She did not stay at the convention.
I was wwith her during her accident and stayed with her until her departure.

Hi Eric,
Well I posted the question who was the third person. It was Janette Wade.
I even commented on her courage going to an NFB Convention and her broken
arm.
We all have those moments.
That was your senior moment for the year, Wic.
