[Missouri-l] memorial for Jeanie McLaughlin

[Steve]

I am so sorry to hear this news. I only got to know Jean while I was on the
board and found her to be very nice. I sat by her a few times in meetings
and, only recently, was able to enjoy her humor and sensible outlook. My
deepest sympathies to George and her family and we will all miss her
greatly.

Steve
