Dottie and I worked in 314 CES in the 80's. I was new to the squardon. She was always willing to help anyone who needed it. She had a smile for everyone. When we got the new computer system in Civil Engineering she helped people with passwords. She kept a list so people would not get locked out of the new system.(Even though this was a big NO NO) I will miss her.
