Nancy- I was so sorry to hear of Sterling’s passing. I was lucky enought to work with Sterling at DOE on the Minority Bank Program. He was such a lovely and friendly man and so easy to work with. I greatly admired him. We made several trips to banks together and he was a fun traveling companion. He spoke so lovingly of you and Emily. Please accept my deepest sympathy for such a great loss.
