Joyce, my deepest condolences with warm memories of Alan
and working for him and the family at Consolidated in the 60's/70's. Certainly they gave me opportunities for a career in the paper business not often afforded a female in those days. I will always remember him as a beloved character in my life. Sincerely, Judith Crawford Perry
