I shall never forget how gracious Geneva was to me over all the years at Sinclair and Arco. She and I were close and enjoyed working together. You never passed Geneva that she did not smile and have a sweet compliment for you. I remember when she retired in 1984 how much I missed her. She celebrated by treating herself to lovely fur coats!!!! Of all the ladies I knew, Geneva was deserving of the best. Geneva will be gratefully missed. Margaret Coon
