written by someone named George:
"All of you know of my wife's death of pancreatic cancer in December after over 59 
years of marriage, and many of you honored my grief by coming to the funeral home or 
sending me a sympathy card or letter, not to mention the financial gifts to the EAS 
Honey Bee Research Fund or to the Montgomery County Hospice Society.. So humbly, 
I appreciate everyone's concern; and I THANK YOU. 

However, in 1955 when I was a head scientist testing atomic weapons at the Mercury 
Test Site in Nevada, a young 24 year old Mormon girl, engaged to be married shortly, 
was detailed to me as a special telephone operator for my numerous calls to the 
Atomic Energy Commission in DC. I had been married 12 years, and fathered two sons, 
and she talked with my wife on the phone while awaiting for me to get to the phone. 
During our 4 months testing program, I accompanied her to Las Vegas in her new 1955 
Ford car as her companion and protector. A month after I left Nevada to return to 
Maryland, she married her Mormon fiance, Bobby G. Laub. I never talked to her or 
heard from her again, but 36 years later, I tested a Nevada commercial beekeeper for 
certification as an EAS Master Beekeeper. He was too was a Mormon, and when we 
both were elected to serve on the National Honey Board, I told him of my knowledge 
about the Mormon faith from my experience with MarJeanne McMullin Laub, because I 
had attended church with her and she had attended Presbyterian church with me. 
Four months after the death of my wife, the Nevada beekeeper e-mailed me and told 
me that a Mormon Newsletter reported the death of a Bobby G. Laub in Las Vegas, 
and could that be the husband of MarJeanne McMullin? I contacted the St. George, 
Utah Chamber of Commerce seeking information and MarJeanne's nephew confirmed 
the death of Bobby Laub, told me of MarJeanne's huge expensive home with swimming 
pool in Las Vegas and living there ALONE, but having 3 children and 6 grandchildren 
nearby in Las Vegas. I telephoned her, and she recognized my voice instantly after 48 
years. In June, she flew here to visit me and stay with me in my Williamsburg, VA 
"home" for 3 weeks. Although I am 8 years older and have 4 GREAT grandchildren 
compared to her 6 grandchildren, we are both SO LONELY after the deaths of our 
spouses, the two of us are like "kids with a new toy". I will return from three weeks in 
Las Vegas just 24 hours before the September 10th meeting with Dr. Jeff Pettis. 
Hence, if I can give up an extended sojourn with my "old" Las Vegas Mormon 
"companion", I have high hopes that you too can come and enjoy Jeff's wisdom. "
