Of the people I've met during my lifetime, few have I had such respect for. Her selflessness toward all her friends, both at the club and away from, is something found only in the rarest of individuals, which she was.
Thankfully, I am amongst those who knew her and had the opportunity to work with her so long, and so much. I'm sure no one will ever fill her shoes at the range. If the shooting sports do have another person so devoted, I've not met them.
I find myself at a loss for words, and that's ironic with so many which could be written. The memories that stand out most to me of the times we spent, are all the laughs and that terrificly coy sense of humor that would just stun us when it was dealt out. Bob had it right above when he said, "An Icon..." Truer words haven't been spoken. Ditto Wolfdawg's every word. I know of many who feel this loss closely, none I'm sure more than Ted. My most heartfelt condolences go out to You and your family Ted.
Sincerely,
Phil Bower
