Bruce Knowles wrote a sympathy message

“I felt fortunate to have known Gretchen during my years at SDSU. She always made me feel welcome in the Hatfield home; fed me, washed my scarf, (yes, I still have it), and even allowed me to alter her spaghetti recipe with my secret ingredient…peanut butter! I feel lucky that I was able to visit her one last time in Arizona last year. Gretchen, I will miss you!”
