Would you please post the following news, with regrets, to our national
lists for those outside of Connecticut who may have known Ellen
Bedford? In summary:<br>
<br>
Ellen Bedford, a teacher of blind children, now retired, and a dedicated
sighted member of the National Federation of the Blind, passed away last
evening. Services are on Monday, May 15, at 10:30 A.M. at
Congregation Rodeph Shalom at 2385 Park Avenue, Bridgeport,
Connecticut. The family will sit Shiva Monday, May 15 – Wednesday,
May 17 from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at 475 Clark Street. Ellen was a
dedicated member, always ready to help out and go above and beyond for
all people, including the Federation and its members.<br>

Thank you very much,<br>

I was so sorry to hear this.<br>
<br>
Please note that the service on Monday morning at 10:30 is at the
synagogue at 2385 Park Avenue. It is called Congregation Rodeph
Shalom.<br>
<br>
It is suggested that the Monday evening Shiva will be after a long day
for the family, so those local who could come Tuesday or Wednesday
instead should try to do so.<br>
