Marcella --
When I learned about your death, I was saddened to lose a great leader that GLAD had... I remember I met you first time in Los Angeles at your old westmoreland ave office.. I was a pretty hard headed guy then but It was an honor of mine to mmeet you when I was living in California and you had made a last impression in my mind.. YOu will be missed.
