[ACVM] memorial graduate student travel awards

[Glenn Songer]

Dear Amelia --

I knew Brenda was ill and out of work, but I did not know (if I now
perceive correctly) that she had died.  Is this true? If so, can you tell
me what happened?  Thanks.  In addition, I appreciate you work for ACVM.
Retirement is treating me OK.

Kind regards,

Glenn
