Dear Dick and Michael. Your wife/mom was my supervisor in the Comptroller's office at DGSC for several years in the late 60s and early 70s. She was a great lady. I've thought of her often in the past years, always with fond memories. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
