[Mt-blind] Longtime MAB member passing

[Rik James]

I read in yesterday's Bozeman Chronicle that longtime MAB member passed away
on Saturday January 6.  Florence Baldwin.  She was 95.  She had been a
student at the summer program a couple of the years when I was director and
my wife Karen nurse.  She and Ken lived just a short distance from our house
in north Bozeman. They had always been so kind and supportive to everything
we tried to do and we considered them great friends and loved to buy their
famous flowers that Florence sold in front of their house.  I know she will
long be remembered by many in our community and by the local chapter who are
probably praising her memory also as I write this.  She certainly was a
person I admired and felt proud to have known.

Our condoelences to Ken and all the family and other friends of the
Baldwins.

If someone wants to read the obit, I will send it to you privately.
She lists MAB as one of the places to donate memorials, as well as the food
bank.

Best,
Rik James
