Dear John and Family, I was saddened to read of Trudy's recent passing. Although we lost track of one another years ago, I have always cherished the friendship we shared in the basement lab at the University of Chicago. Best wishes - Frank

John and family, we just learned this morning of Trudy's passing. I had sent an email asking if she might be able to attend our class reunion at Northwestern this fall.

I graduated with Trudy from Radford High School in Honolulu in 1964. She was a special friend and a very special person. I saw her at our 50th reunion in Las Vegas in 2014 and I am so very thankful for that. Thank you for post on Facebook. Trudy, I will always remember you......rest in peace.
