"When diplomacy was needed, you were the diplomat; when script guidance was required, you were the director, when a financial matter arose, you were the banker; when a contractor needed help, you were the technician; when a bit of humor was in order, you were the comic; and on and on. ...Kitty,...you are a consummate pro, and that is why our Gala celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Marshall Plan was so successful. You orchestrated all the necessary refrains for the evening into a magnificent melody which will linger on for many years."

"When we first made the decision to hire an events consultant to help Paramount in planning and executing this complex occasion, you came highly recommended -- and now we certainly understand why.

That everything went off without a hitch is tribute to your skill."
