Marilyn and I met while working at the Ramses the Great exhibition in 1988 and became fast friends almost instantly. A lifelong student of Egyptology, Marilyn was one of the original eight members of the Organizing Committee for what became the North Texas Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt. There are so many memories, so much remembered laughter and joy connected with Marilyn... we went to the same high school, though not at the same time, shared so many of the same interests... Though for many reasons we were not as close as in former times, I thought of her often and remembered the happy times we did have. Thank you for those wonderful memories, my dear friend. You will be missed.
