Josephine was my group clerk at IRS for many years. What a sweetheart and special lady! It was my privilege to have had her in my group. I used to bring her a thermos of my homemade Glug at Christmas. She will be missed.

Josephine was my group secretary for a few years
during the 1980's. At the time, her manager was Sherwin Stern. In my opinion, she was the best group
secretary I had in my 40 year career at the Internal Revenue Service. She was also a very sweet and caring individual. May her memory be a blessing.
