I reflected just today on working with Bobbi when she was at WFU. First, as her link to working in the Sales Department at the Greensboro Marriott for the ACC tournament...we were Wake's headquarter hotel. In the early 90s she sold my husband's company on an agreement to have one of the hospitality suites at Lawrence Joel. I always loved working alongside Bobbi. Prayers during this time of remembrance for her family.

Thinking of you. Bobbi was an incredible person. Bobbi took me under her wing and mentored me at WFU after being out of the work force for 14 years. We enjoyed both Bobbi and Bill's friendship. Hugs and prayers from Wade and Brenda Scott.

Bobbi & I worked together in the 80s. She sold me on Why? the brand new Greensboro Marriott Hotel should be WFU's host hotel during the annual ACC tournament. While Duke, VA and other schools wanted to be selected, WFU's history for room use and Bobbi's personality made the selection easy. I loved all of my Bobbi moments and remember her so fondly. My deepest sympathy to her family.
