Marty was an exceptional friend and always shared her knowledge of strategic planning with me. Telephone calls, chapter meetings, Neocon and National conferences were always enhanced by her presence. Marty will always be remembered and missed by all who were lucky enough to have known her. Eleanor Brydone Hagarty, Toronto, Ontario,Canada
