It was in one of the early summer programs at 4750. I knew of you before that but this time you were doing the summer print shop. I remember seeing you during the day and I knew you were up most of the night. You never looked tired! I couldn't believe that you seemed to go 24/7! They may have called Margaret Thatcher "The Iron Lady", but we all know that you were the first with that name and I sign for all to see! No burden to large, the first answer always yes, and corporate to the core. Happy birthday to you, from Jack and Judy. </div><div><br></div><div>Grace & Peace,</div><div><br></div><div>Jack</div><div><br><div><div>On May 29, 2013, at 10:58 AM, Ken Fisher <<a href="mailto:hkf232@gmail.com">hkf232@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
