I got to see Arlene in her element at NASA where she was a certified solderer for spaceflight electronic boards. She was always in demand because of her high quality workmanship, but she was so outgoing, upbeat and fun to be around. She had a can-do attitude, great common sense and was like a big sister to a lot of us in the branch. My prayers go out to her friends and family at this difficult time.
