Helen was a unique person that I am pleased to say was a collegue. The last few years at the Pentagon were not her best but how she blossomed in her retirement. Knowing how happy she was meant so much to all who worked with her.

Heartfelt condolences. Helen and I worked together at the Pentagon; then realized we were from "next door" in southwestern PA. We had very enjoyable times discussing Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. The memories of our shared Air Force Pentagon days "before computers" and golf tournaments to keep life in perspective will be treasured. Helen was a very special Lady and will be missed. My deepest sympathy.
