Chick, I was so sorry to hear about Doris. She was a great person and a good friend. We used to have some good times when we we both at Yale. She just sent me a Happy Birthday a three weeks ago. You have my sincerest sympathy for your loss.
I worked with Doris while I held two separate positions at Yale. I’m very very sorry for your loss. We used to eat lunch together in the alumni records conference room. She was a very nice person. My condolences.
