Not always the most agreeable to my designs and plans, but was most consistently the most logical and correct. Mrs. Fortunoff remains the most recurring personality in my nightly dreams and I am most honored to have known and worked for her.

Helene Fortunoff was my employer for more than thirty one years.She treated me with respect and appreciation and was a tutor and inspiration to me throughout.Her like will not be repeated soon, and I will love and miss her always.It was a great honor to have known her.

MAY G_D ALLOW...
