Elaine was already a member of ABWA when I joined about 1987. She was a meticulous and well dressed business woman. We had so much fun organizingevents. Also there were 6 of us women along with spouses who would go to dinner mostly in Canada. Always a fun evening.. I liked Elaine. She was a bit reserved but when she cared for you, you knew it. One thing I do know over all the years that she fiercely loved her grandsons. You were the Stars in her eyes. My sympathy
