Marianne was an important part of my life. I got to know her when we were all single and footloose at IBM Time/Life in New York City. What a wonderful time and place to be free and happy. Marianne was always active and doing something - sailing with Charlie Wadsack, visiting the IBM Country Club in Sands Point and doing handstands there, going out to the Hamptons where she made many new friends and had new adventures. And how many times after work did we meet at the office pub and discuss what was going on at work and in our own lives. I couldn't have asked for a more fun person to have as a companion!
When IBM Time/Life closed in 1974 we kept in touch sporadically, mainly at Christmastime. We visited her in New Jersey when her children were young and later in Franklin Lakes after they had left home. She invited me to spend time with her in South Beach and introduced me to some of her new friends there. Marianne had a wonderful ability to meet people with different backgrounds and to see the uniqueness in them. And I loved her sense of humor, the way she could be amused even when things didn't go her way. Like Teddy's college graduation.
I shall miss her ever so much. She was part of my life at important times. And you, Ted, Veronica, Melanie and Teddy, will miss her even more. Please accept my condolences.
