To Ben and Lynda Brafman,
A couple that excels in kindness, caring, friendship and commitment to community.
As we have all had the pleasure to observe, Ben understands the essence of people. He has
the good judgement to point out our strengths and the quick wit to help us understand the
foibles of others, which sometimes sound suprisingly like our own.
Those who know Lynda have a sense of the warmth and good humor it takes to keep Ben
moving at an unmatchable pace…all that while being a delightful mother and grandmother.
Congratulations also to Stanley and Evelyn Bienenfeld, Lynda’s parents, who have served
on the ICRF Board and in other important roles that have contributed significantly to the
success of ICRF.
