Marylou and Betsy,
We were so shocked to hear of
Russ's passing. We have such fond memories of our times working with him and you at Formatron. We will also remember one of my favorite sayings when things got tough: "Life's Tedious By Golly!" Please accept our deepest sympathy. Donna and David LaFountain.
