Helen Gassie was my first supervisor. I'd never worked before was assigned as a student worker to LSU's Unclassified Personnel Office and the Director assigned me to Helen. She assigned tasks fairly and would teach me how to do things if I asked but never micro-managed me. She even taught me how to make coffee in a coffee maker, good thick strong coffee. "Always put in a little lagniappe after the scoops" she'd tell me, "or it'll be too weak, like that northern coffee you can see through". All my life since, I have thought of her with a smile every time I made coffee. I wish she knew how she changed others' lives in so many good little ways. Maybe she knows now. My condolences to your family Helen.
