Harriett/Jackie, extended are my deepest condolences to you and the family. Your mom known as lil Doris to me was the first person I met when I started working at National Geographic in April 1979. She trained me on editing payment invoices. Lil Doris was the most patience person that I had ever met and not to mentioned the best trainer that I've ever had. We had some great days at National Geographic and bundles of good times that will be cherished forever. Doris will forever be part of my National Geographic family and will forever be missed. My prayers are with you and the entire family.
Love Pat Toombs
