I was fortunate to be on Marty's staff for a few years. He was very helpful and supportive of my work. His personal insights made a real difference in my future. Best to him and his family.

I worked for Marty for many years when Defense Contract Audit Agency had its office in the Loop. After I left DCAA in 1988 I had lost track of him since he worked in Dallas TX for several years after that.
