Rita Ann Cody

On behalf of all the members of the F-16XL family, we want to express our sincere condolences on the loss of this wonderful and beautiful lady. Sam was the secretary to Clarence Hart, Chief Engineer on the F-16XL program, and she was excellent! Sam was our cheerleader and muse, sharp as a tack, and always had uplifting things to say in any situation, especially to encourage the young engineers on the team when things were most difficult. Our prayers go out her family at this very sad time....

Oh no! Not Norita the prettiest girl on Pulaski Street in the 1940's! Played Hide-and-seek, Kick the can, Red rover, monopoly and chess, which she beat me at with regularity. Rest in peace, pretty lady!
