I worked with Martha 1992-1997 at Denison. I was one of the youngest at that time and she along with several of the other women were like my extra "moms".... When I left in 1997 she gave me a little angel with a card to guard me on my journey. I kept that angel in my backpack the entire 6 years I was living in Southern California. I still have it.
