I worked with Teri for nearly 20 years at CBS, and even when deadlines were tight and pressures were great you could always count on her steady outlook--and great sense of humor--to help make the job easier. It was over twenty years ago on a Christmas Eve that I drove her from New York City "back home" to Providence. We kept in touch over the years (I'll miss the Beach Plum Jelly at Christmas!), and I cherished our talks and marvelled at her outlook...as she called it, she wasn't quite ready for her "concrete condo, just yet." Well, Teri, I guess that time arrived, but I'm sure your spirit is in a far better place than your "condo" provides. God's Peace be with you.
