Although we did not personally know Norman, we heard wonderful stories of adventures and special family moments through our colleague and his daughter-in-law, Kathy McSweeney. It is our hope that those special memories will be the foundation for the joy in family sharing. We are thinking of you all. Kathy's colleagues at Howard Community College
