My wife Kim and I have fond memories of Mrs. Kalman and her delicious meals at the Beta house during my college years as a fraternity brother there. She was a wonderful person whose past life experience, especially stories of her time in a concentration camp continues to be part of our vivid memory and cherished memory of her we share with our children today. May her memory be a blessing.
