I am sorry to hear Claudia is gone. I worked with her at DPS and we became friends.  She brought Steve to our cabin in Talkeetna, and I have wonderful pictures of them. Claudia visited us in Missouri several times. She taught our dog Trouble to sit up using Oreo cookies as a reward, I hadn't seen her since we moved to Tacoma, She called me last spring and we hoped to get together. Peace.
