Millie, I'm so sorry to have just learned about your passing. It was just over 21 years ago that you trained me as a Duty Officer. Your patience, wisdom and "sassy-ness" will always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. The world is a little colder today without you here. "Cabbage487"
