While I never met Dick, Iris Elfenbein spoke highly of Mimi and Dick. Iris shared memories of Dick as the father of their daughters Melissa and Jessica, and their grandchildren. Iris remains one of my special professional friends. We worked together for many good years in Washington D.C. and beyond.
