I can remember calling weekly from Delaware when I was seeking a job in the area. Sometimes I was fortunate to by-pass the receptionist and occasionally get to speak with the "boss" Sylvia. She was always so cordial to me in my weekly check ins---and when a position finally opened--- she was one of the first to share with me. While she could "pretend" to have this tough exterior---she did truly care about Northwestern and I just loved when I could get her to smile. I am just so saddened to hear this news. May the family carry all the special memories in your hearts forever.
