[Ohio-Talk] Sad news

[Colleen Roth]

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for this announcement. Joyce was courageous and stood up for what she believed in including the activities involving NAC and the Minneapolis Society for the Blind.

Some of you will remember Joyce Scanlan. She was first Vice President of the NFB for many years and president of the NFB of Minnesota for many more. She was the first director of BLIND, Inc. She was hospitalized last Saturday with heart failure and apparently died in her sleep Monday night. Tom does not want calls right now. Joyce was one of the best—tough when she needed to me, and really compassionate and imaginative always.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
