Carol was a good friend over many years. We kind of grew up together at the AG national office. I remember traveling to EPA conventions together and the fabulous Christmas dinners she and Gary hosted. See you later, Friend!

Condolences to Gary and the family. I worked with Carol for about 10 years. She was smart, witty, dedicated, and professional. She and Gary got Jim and I snow skiing for the first time - and we fell in love with that winter activity. Sincerely, Carolyn & Jim Tripp
