Lenny was a special person. We worked together for almost 40 years. I always had great respect for her as a person but mostly for the quality of her work. I never.questioned any results tha she put out. We were friends that allowed her to call anytime with questions. 24/7. My most sincere sympathies to her family and especially Al.
