>From Melody Roane:

On Saturday evening, Buffa Hanse, who is a Braille instructor at VRCBVI and
a long-time Federationist, was hit by a car while walking home from a
friend's house.  She is currently at MCV where she will undergo surgery to
repair a broken arm.  She has sustained other injuries, but she is on the
road to recovery.

I will keep you posted on further developments as I learn them.

Please keep Buffa in your thoughts and prayers.  I know she appreciates it.

Thanks.

Melody
