I was a medical student and intern at Des Moines General from about 1982-1985. Glenda was Dr. Dakovitch's secretary. She was unfailingly kind and cheerful to all of us. She always stepped in if Dr. Dakovitch was upset with us. I had not thought of her for many years, so I was shocked and saddened to see her death in the paper. My sympathies are with you.
