A HALF-CENTURY OF VOLUNTEERING FOR RFB&D’S LARRY VABER

The Berkshire Chapter of the New England Unit of RFB&D recently honored veteran volunteer Laughran “Larry” Vaber for his 50 years of valued service.

An honorary event was held October 30 at the Lenox Club in Lenox, Massachusetts, where friends and colleagues paid tribute to Larry and helped establish the Laughran Vaber Audio Fund, which will support the production of audio textbooks to serve RFB&D members around the country.

Larry, a former RFB&D board member, began recording for us in New York City way back in 1955, moved to the Berkshires, and began volunteering there when the studio opened in 1957. Today, he still records in Lenox, reads at the Florida Unit during the winter, and also at the New York Unit when he visits the city.
