Doris, you were my mentor and dear friend. I have so many memories of our chamber music sessions and musical theater. You were an inspiration to me and many others.

I played chamber music with Doris quite often. also, played in Redwood.Symphony and Nova Vista Oocjestra with her. She got me into playing musicals. She was a talented musician; very rhythmically sound
One of my great pleasures was attending open rehearsals of the San Francisco Suymphony with her and Jack. we always had a good time. I have missed seeing her, and I am glad I knew her.

Doris was really encouraging to me personally as I developed my orchestral conducting technique. Coming from such an accomplished musician as Doris, her comments were especially meaningful to me, and I will never forget it. Thank you, Doris!
