Tribute To A Friend
A face that will be sorely missed at the NUL's 1985 Annual Conference is that of Mel Patrick, who over a span of more than 20 years never missed a Conference. Mel was the publisher of "Delegate Magazine", which reports on all the major conference in Black America. He always had a warm spot in his heart for the NUL and many Leaguers were accustomed to seeing him hustling about distributing "Delegate". 
Mel passed away earlier this year but the memory of him as a warm, concerned and committed individual lives on.
