I was very surprised and sorry to hear about Helen's passing. She was a very nice person and friend when we worked at NASA/GSFC. I still remember the considerate care that she took in feeding the wild cats at GSFC and arranging for a backup when she had to be away and could not do it herself.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Helen always inspired me as a dancer and teacher. I admired her grace, gentleness, and her determination -- no matter what I threw at her. I'm sure she's still dancing.
