I first met Tootie at Optovac in N. Brookfield in1980. She was always so cheerful, smart and had some wonderful stories that she loved to share. She enjoyed driving to the Quabbin Reservoir with her sidekick Sybil to view the wildlife, especially the deer. Tootie eventually retired from Optovac but we stayed in touch due to the fact that I married into the family. Rest In Peace Tootie .
