He chaired the Gavel Award Committee and the Resolutions Committee for sometime in the early eighties. Phil was a wise and dedicated counselor for many years. When we visited him in the Kendal Care Center, he made it clear that he was ready to go home. I know nothing about services. The Copelands had no children, and his nephew lived in California. If I learn more, I will pass it along.

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.
