I wish to extend my most heartfelt condolences to Ellen's family during this very sad time. I worked with Ellen at NCR back in the late 60's and early 70's and she was a very dear friend. I especially remember her sincere warmth and sense of humor when things got a little hectic in our office. She also brought into my life one of the sweetest dogs that I ever had. A friend of hers at the time had a Scottish Terrier that needed a home because she was unable to take care of her. Ellen's son Greg brought the dog to her apartment where my roomie and I lovingly took the dog home with us and she immediately became part of our family. May her family find solace knowing that she is now with the Creator. Rest in peace dear Ellen.
