Patrick G. Klein is submitting a waiver on behalf of Henry A. Schumacher. Mr. Schumacher began serving on the Tangipahoa St. Helena Soil & Water Conservation District Board in 2005, took a break in 2014, and returned in 2019. In December 2021, he had a farming accident that caused a brain bleed, which led to dementia. His wife, Karen Schumacher, cared for him around the clock while also caring for her mother, who also had dementia. Mrs. Shumacher was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, and her mother passed away shortly after. Mrs. Schumacher received the FTF notice but did not respond because she did not understand the seriousness of the request. When she received the LFO, she contacted the SWCD Board and was told that a BOE representative had called to determine the duration of his term. Mrs. Schumacher was informed that everything had been taken care of but later received that Demand notice.
