Kathryn and I go back a long long way! We were roommates at
Winthrop and also Oak Ridge. She was a very dear lady and a wonderful friend. I have fond memories of our Oak Ridge days when she met your Dad. Just wanted you all to know each of you are in my
prayers.

Bill Arnold became my boss at Kodak’s PCIM Division in 1965 and was a good friend and mentor for the rest of his career with Kodak. I met Kathryn soon after and have exchanged Christmas greetings and family updates for many years. Kathryn delighted in her family and I sure will be greatly missed. My prayers are with her family at this time. Cal Graziano
