Gretta and Family, my mom told me about Art's passing. I worked with Art at Placer back in 1979-1986 and he was my manager and a great guy. I remember lovely dinners that you and he put on for the Marketing team. I am so sorry to hear about his passing; I have very fond memories. With love, Cathy Stashyn (then Wilkins).
