for us to join them on a tour of the NPGS data center
and then we gathered to hear her speak. She stayed for
a good while after, wanting to hear how the students were
getting on and what we were interested in. I will never
forget her and I still have the 'nanosecond' that she gave
me.

I never had the pleasure, but I've heard many of the
wonderful stories, including the nanoseconds.
BTW, whatever happened to DPMA? One never hears of it
today.

I had the pleasure in the late 70's while she was winding down at the Navy
Yard. Her stories of Nimitz and Touring were just priceless.
