Carolyn, Just learned of Dawin's passing. I had the great pleasure of working with Darwin for several years. He loved his work and the people he worked with. The world had lost a fine man.

Carolyn, I am so very sorry to hear about Darwin. I always enjoyed my time around Darwin , he sure enjoyed stirring things up. He would ask a question and then set back and watch the conversation, no matter what direction the subject took us, he took quiet pleasure in gittin it going...... It will be a much sadder world without Darwin in it.....
