    Deepest condolences.  Sad that we were unable to come say farewell to Akron.  We both met her at GE/Hobart and I (Tana) got to work side by side with her many times.  She was beautiful inside and out.  She told me that when she got to the US her sister in law hugged her and said "Judy, i think that American name fits you perfectly".  And it du but I always loved the sound of Akemi.  She did get a kick out of it when that is what we called her. She will always be remembered by me for her beauty, kindness and sense of humor.  PS:  she took no mess either
