I was saddened to learn today of Ellie's passing. Condolences to her dear family. She had a big part in hiring me in NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Field Facilities Branch, Code 532, in 1963 and became a true Christian friend. We kept in touch during our retirement years. Gone, but never forgotten, Ellie. I'll join her in heaven one day.
