Hello, my name is Lucy and I worked with Gloria at the Whittier office which is now the Whittier museum. She was a very well dressed and dignified woman whom I admired from afar. I was much younger than Gloria and she left a lasting impresseion on a young co-worker. I often thought of her as I left the Whittier office when it closed. May she rest in peace. My deepest condolences.
