Yesterday
I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy (Dot) for many years at Rhone-Poulenc, Aventis, and Bayer at our headquarters in Research Triangle Park, NC. Dot was an amazing assistant, always projecting the epitome of competence and class. Dot was one of the most humble people I've ever met and was admired by all who knew her. May God bless her family during this time of sorrow.
