As Co-Chair of Park B. Smith, Inc., of New York City, Carol's standard of excellence, attention to detail, and the ability to address issues head-on were essential to the growth of the company. Her legacy continues to inspire and guide those at PBS, Inc. Not only did Carol desire the success of the company, but also the personal growth and success of the many employees for whom she cared. Carol was intimately involved in all aspects of Park B. Smith, Inc., including operations, systems, finance and design. Not one facet of the business has gone untouched by Carol's intelligence and capability. Tough and demanding of herself as well as the others with whom she worked, Carol inspired all who knew her. She was not only a leader of the company, she was an integral part of the company, and will be greatly missed. As a team, Carol and her husband Park B.

It is a solid foundation which bodes well for the present and future growth of PBS, Inc.
