My sincere sympathy to the family of Rene Pantaz. I was actually Rene's manager at the time she retired with Goodyear Aerospace and have thought of her often over the years. She was a pioneer in the technical recruting profession and very well respected for her talents. So glad to hear she lived a long and loving life. Warmest thoughts, Cindi Miner
