Michael and Matt I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was one of the first people I met when I started at Gillette in 1972. I remember her including me right away in the circle of other Admins. We shared many laughs and life adventures. You may even remember her coming to get a hamster for you from a litter we unexpectedly had! She ranks among the nicest people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. My deepest sympathies and may she rest in peace.
