In Memoriam
Larry C. Colbert, 66, of Tempe, Ariz., passed away March 21 with his family around him. Colbert was only 28 when he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease
which robbed him of his sight. He overcame adversity to become an inspirational
speaker and author, who motivated his
audiences to live life to the fullest with
“driving vision.” His service dog, Banner,
was his constant companion.

The NSA Foundation awards four $5,000
scholarships annually to juniors, seniors
