She was intelligent, friendly, kind, with a

good sense of humor--the perfect person for

the Hotel del Charro job and I believe she

loved it.

I have fond memories of her and her treatment of a young reporter visiting

often as part of my "beat".

She was a great asset for the hotel & La

Jolla. May God bless her.
