I'm very sorry to read about the recent passing away of Irene Chacon. I first met her when I was working in Barnes & Noble-Eastridge for Monument Security. Her son, Xavier Chacon, worked at that Barnes & Noble as Head Cashier. I have fond memories of Irene Chacon. As Cashier Doug said describing her, she often knew what she wanted before she came into the bookstore as a customer. Irene and I had interesting discussions.
