I met Irene in the Mechanism group back in 1996. Right from the very start Irene made me feel welcomed. Irene, Fay, Robin and I would take 50 minute( or more) walks which were really morale boosters for all of us. There was lots of good natured joking and fun. These were good memories for me. Irene had a very young and vibrate spirit and she will be missed.
My sincere sympathy to all of you
