Karen (and all of the VanderDoes family),
We are sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. He was definitely an honorable man with many acheivments to be proud of over his lifetime. I've worked at B&W at Mt. Athos Road since 1969 (now our part is called AREVA), and we make the fuel he pioneered. I remember hearing his name back in the early days. You and your family are in our prayers.
