Fred—I am so sorry I didn’t find out about Cheryl’s passing until today when Rob Nankervis mentioned it. I’ll never forget the fun day I spent with you two: going out to eat lunch, meeting the cattle (especially Sheila), meeting your dogs, and seeing Cheryl’s Noah’s Ark collection. It was an honor to work with Cheryl at Hawkins. May she rest in peace.
