"I was heartbroken to hear of Cindy?s passing, she was a kind and generous friend, and so much fun. 41 years ago today, my Iowa State roommates, Cindy, and others conspired to surprise me with a 19th bday party in my dorm. And boy was I surprised ... to find classmates, lab partners, acquaintances, and all other sorts that they?d invited to help celebrate, in my room. It was THE best! I remember it every year, and especially this year, our 60th. My sympathies to the Dittmer and Daft families, and all who were touched by her warmth, humor and kindness.
