I,too, worked with Chris for several years at NARMC. She was one of the most reliable Techs I've ever worked with. Everyone could always depend on her to not only do HER job, but to help you whenever asked with your's. No aspect of work was too big or too small. But the strongest character trait she had was her relentless pursuit of WHY and HOW things worked...a real asset when working as a clinical lab scientist. I will miss her.

I met Chuck and Janet in 1962. They were neighbors. Christine was 3 years old and cute as a button. She liked to play with my kids and they liked her a lot. I haven't heard much about her since then as we took different paths.
My sincere condolences to her family and close friends.
