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.
