I worked with Carolyn at Mattel. I was in Human Resources and Carolyn was in Quality Control. When I would see Carolyn coming to HR I knew she had a story to tell - it was most of the time on her - how she had fallen off a bench or some crazy thing like that. She always laughed at herself which is what I loved so much about Carolyn. My condolences to George and family for their loss.
