Dear Marci and family: Lynn and I both worked with Hank for many years at the National Archives. You certainly have our sympathy on the loss of Hank. He was a real professional and a good friend. Only played golf with him once but well aware of the friendship he had with Rich Claypoole. Lynn and John Carlin
