>>Hello everyone,
>>
>>It is with deep sadness that I write to let you know of the passing
>>of Karen Mayry, our friend and associate in the movement.  Karen had
>>been very ill for a long, long time; she died yesterday afternoon.
>>
>>For more than thirty years, Karen gave tireless effort to building
>>and strengthening our Federation affiliate in South Dakota and
>>serving for most of that time as our state president in South
>>Dakota.  As a native Minnesotan, Karen always worked in close
>>partnership with us in this state and has many, many friends who
>>will hear of her deas as a tremendous loss.  Her husband Marsh was
>>her partner and caregiver during the last years as Karen's health
>>forced her to cut back on her Federation work.  She never, however,
>>reduced her commitment to the organization.  I spoke with her within
>>the last two weeks, and she expressed her continuing interest in
>>everything that was happening in the Federation.
>>
>>To say that Karen will be missed is an extreme understatement, for
>>her spirit and energy will always be with everyone who knew her and
>>worked with her over the years.
>>
>>Our most sincere sympathy goes to Marsh and to Karen's family.  I do
>>not know of memorial arrangements at this time.
>>
>>Joyce Scanlan, president
>>NFB of Minnesota
