Dear Arena,
I met Anna when I was a member of the Legal Secretaries Association and remember her very fondly. I remember that she gave the Mahlon Harris award every year in memory of her husband. I remember being surprised that I knew almost all of her family except her. She was a delight and I know she will be missed. Bobbie
