I met Loretta C Douglas back in the early 80’s.
She was kind as to hire me As a law clerk, back in my second year of college. I have nothing but the must upmost fact for her, and all that she stood for. About a year later after my employment there I moved to Florida and I did lock up with another female law firm down here in Copeland and Champlin‘s unfortunately I never follow through in the law field. On life one on. But I am so grateful and and for all that Loretta what’s my first insight into working in a law office and just if you set your mind to it dreams would happen. I am grateful that she took a chance and me. And all that she’s done for other women in the community. And I am saddened to hear of her passing.
She will forever be in my prayers. I am Judith D Calin -Ely
