Glen, I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I enjoyed meeting her when we all had lunch at Mary Todd's restaurant in Frankfort a few years ago. Our sympathy to you and Sherry and the rest of the family.

Your cousin, Cindy Miller

Our sympathies to the family. I volunteered at the Field Museum with Ross. We both got to know Phyllis on some dinosaur digs in Mexico and Utah.
