She made a huge impression on me some 30 years ago when the Castle Rock ride 
lost its finish line and host upon the death of Leo Frank.  Julie wrote me a 
note saying in effect that when Leo died she had grave concerns about the 
future of Castle Rock, but when she realized that Lud and I and our family 
were going to continue managing it, her fears were laid to rest.  Those were 
the kindest words, and I made a mental note that if something like that made 
ME feel so good, I would try to spread good feelings to others by writing 
notes to them on appropriate occasions.  I don't quite live up to Julie's 
degree of graciousness, but I try.
