I worked for Blanche at AAFES on Elmendorf AFB in the early 80's. Lots of personality. She gave me a chance, I was just out of high school then. A phrase of hers if I recall was "I know you got that right!". Then there was "Schroeder, get back to work!". Lol. I'll never forget her. My condolences to her family.
Sending my prayers and condolences to Mrs. Preston's family. She was truly a joy to know when we worked together in the early 2000's. She was the first person that came to mind when asked in numerous interviews who the most influential person you've worked with. Compassionate, understanding, and exuded the love of Jesus. Thank you, Jesus for Mrs. Blanche Preston!
