(For those of you IBMers who worked at IBM during the 1960s, you most likely will remember Jennifer's parents Archie & Cathy. Archie was blind and used a seeing eye dog and worked in assembly. His wife Cathy worked in Quality Control. and I noticed in the obituary that Cathy is still alive and living out in Hinesburg)
