Donna and I became friends when we both worked for JI Case back in l966. Donna was smiling, happy, fun to be with and we enjoyed many nights crusing in her Buick convertible. When she moved to Washington DC to work, we remained friends. My sympathy to her family - Donna loved life and heaven has a new angel.
