Doris was a good friend for many years, even after I left IBM. As MB stated so eloquently, Doris was so understanding and shared life lessons. She was always there if you needed her. I have fond memories of being invited to her home in Raymond for fabulous cuisine and fun lunches! My sympathies to her family at this time.
