You sure were one fine Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Dunn.
I was really impressed by your move to the top over at HP.
Best of luck and everlasting happiness in the Next World.

Pattie was an amazing dedicated woman, one I was fortunate to work with at WFIA. Her integrity and strength never wavered. She was an inspiration to many of us, myself included. She will be missed but remembered by all who crossed her path.
