Alex, I am so sorry to read of Martha's passing. I still see her as the "girl" I worked with at Channel 30. I used to drive her to and from work since she didn't have a car. We had such good times. I'm glad I finally got around to sending you the picture of the two of you on one of our "outings". Please let me know when you will have a service. If I am not working, I would like to attend. My best to you and your children.
