On behalf of the Society of Air Force Nurses, please know that we are mourning with you the death of our friend and colleague, retired Colonel Phyllis "Phyll" Lutmann. She was a remarkable woman and leader who made such a difference in this world in her own journey through life; she leaves an exraordinary list of accomlishments. I was privileged to have served with Phyll at David Grant Medical Center in California, and then followed her to the University of California - San Francisco where we both received our Masters of Science in Nursing. I have many fond memories of those years. She was a long-time member of the Society, and a donation in her memoryand honor will be made to the Foundation for Military Women's Memorial which stands at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. Phyll will be missed by many, and she will long be remembered by the community of Air Force nurses.
Linda J. Stierle, Brigadier General, United States Air Force (Retired)
