In the 1970's when the Board of Social Welfare employees were transferred to NYS DSS, Sue welcomed me, and I enjoyed her friendship all these years. Sue always had a smile and was so willing to help a coworker. She was respected in the personnel office and well liked by everyone she served in the Department. My sincere sympathy to her family,
