Rita Corbette was the highly respected Executive Secretary of Hugh Subbins and Associates, as well as Hugh's loyal and devoted personal secretary. She had extremely high professional standards and insisted that we all adhere to those standards when it came to all written communications within the office and with our clients.
She trained and supervised secretaries and influenced the performance of everyone in the office. I have always respected her judgment and retain the fondest memories of the many years I worked for Hugh Stubbins while she was still an active member of the staff.

My Aunt Rita was a stylish woman who thoroughoy enjoyed her life. I will always remember the wonderful birthday and Xmas presents she gave me as a little kid. She was also a terrific cook. I am glad that she is in peace. Peggy Corbett Wiley
