I just happened to see Gilmer's name in the paper and my memory went back to the days when I worked for a mortgage company in LA dealing frequently with this kind, gentle representative of FNMA. He was one of the few I dealt with over the phone who was so professional, yet compassionate. My condolences to all his family and friends.
