I knew Margaret for many years through our mutual association with CSMANTECH. One of the bright spots of every conference for me is connecting with longtime friends, and Margaret and Rich were among many of those I always looked forward to seeing. She, Rich, and I often shared a table at the social events, engaging in family updates and happy banter. She referred to me as her “cousin” and she and I waged a played contest each year on whether or not she could capture my photograph for the MANTECH record. She most always won because her smile and happy nature were undeniable. I will miss her gentle good humor.
