THE EXCEPTIONAL HARLEY FETTERMAN

               “All of you are the future of NFB. Going forward, you will be the
             ones winning awards and learning Braille music and Nemeth Code.
             And   you   will   be   the   ones   with   big   dreams   for   technology   and
             methodologies that will help the blind community not just get by, but
             reach their maximum potential. So I want to thank you for letting me
             link Harley's legacy with your future and for letting me be with you as
             you make a difference. Thank you!”



               A few months later, Kevin Fetterman, posted this on social media,



               “Eight weeks ago today we lost Harley. I think we’re getting better
             and Beth and I purposely force ourselves and each other to focus on
             distractions, but sometimes the pain and despair just push through.
             We have to reinvent ourselves, Harley’s Mom and Harley’s Dad were
             more than just a tag, they were our identities. I got the new tattoo
             almost three weeks ago because it felt right (thanks Sizer). I miss him
             playing the guitar in the evenings and trying to teach me about
             something I’m not smart enough to understand. He was a helluva guy.
             Thank God there are some many good memories, pics, videos, etc.
             Can’t wait to see you again, buddy…”

























                Figure 204: Kevin and Beth both have Harley tattoos in
                                remembrance of Harley.
