Our condolenses to Cissy and everyone in the immediate and extended Marden family. I hadn't seen Uncle Wes recently, though we did chat regularly when he was checking in on his "little sister, Mary. Megan, Finely and I fondly remember the Jazz cruise he hosted on Puget Sound. I think that might have been the last time the majority of the Mardens and Morgans where all together. I wish everyone comfort and peace at this time.

Cissy and family, so sorry to hear about Wes passing. My mentor and boss for many years in defense. Will miss his visits. Remembering the General Dynamic days. Then there was Hughes and Amfuel. We did a lot of estimates and negations on proposals. Many good working memories.
