So very sorry to hear of Carol's passing. She was a gentle, fun loving, creative person. I first met her in the mid to late 70s when I was working for a local camera store. The store manager at the time, George Lee, introduced me to her, and I soon learned that Carol and I enjoyed using the same Nikkormat camera equipment. We'd often discuss our common photo interests, exchange tips and techniques, and share our success stories.
I also had the pleasure of working with her for many years at System Studies. As a gifted artist, Carol was able to translate her remarkable drawing talent to computer-generated graphics. Many of her fine product drawings are still being used at the company.
I'll always remember her humor, her humility and her accomplishments. And I'll remember the last time I saw her and spoke with her—we were both photographing a bike race on Beach Hill. I was cranking out gazillions of throw-away photos on my digital camera, and Carol was holding on to the final two film exposures in her trusty old Nikkormat. Any bets on who got the better pictures? Had to have been Carol, hands down.
