ANDREA LEOPOLD

A valued colleague and spirited friend. Much missed.

I worked with Andrea in the Office of the Inspector General. She was one of the most intelligent, diligent, and caring civil servants I worked with in my career in government. In fact, she inspected me when I was Ambassador to the Marshall Islands and may have helped me later obtain the job of Team Leader in OIG. She was also an engaging and spirited friend, and a real mensch - yes, the word can be used with women too - a strong and real good person.

Andrea inspected the management section of our Embassy in Madagascar in 2008. She was acutely attuned to our mission, and while pointing out things we needed to do better, she crafted recommendations that helped us immensely. She made that inspection such a positive experience for us. I gave her a big hug as she left Antananarivo. She was a treasure. Condolences and best wished to her family and friends.

Ted,
It sounds like Andrea was a talented and wonderful person, and that you were a good team. Sorry for your loss.

Jeff, Michelle, Phil, Anita, Julie & Bill -

Cheryl and I were so sorry to hear of your mom's passing yesterday. Your mom always held a special place in my heart. I remember fondly all the time I spent at your house growing up during high school, whether it be for poker games, listening to music, or simply hanging out. She always made me feel special and welcome and always made sure there was extra food so I could mooch dinner on occasion! When Cheryl's parents lived in Potomac...

Dear Julie, Bill, Evan, Joey and all the family, So sorry about your mom's/grand-mom's death. I know you hold special memories of time spent with her. God bless you, Patricia (Aunt Pit, AP)
