My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Carmen- you and I had some classes together at ETSU. I think your dad knew my dad as they both worked at Univac (Paul McClellan). My deepest sympathies to you and your family during this time, please take care. Melinda (McClellan) Hobbs.
