Laura's name has been mentioned a number of times recently both on this and the "other" board. For the benefit of the many, many newcomers to this board who may be wondering who the heck this is (and I'm sure some are), I suggest that someone who knows her better than I might synopsize her history, personality, accomplishments, why she's not currently posting to either board, etc. This synopsis should be as factual as possible, but speculation might well be in order for some things (why not posting to either board, for example).
When I say someone may know her better than I, the truth of the matter is I don't know her at all -- I've never communicated with her. But I DO know OF her to the extent of her writing, some of her history, personality, accomplishments, etc. And although I have a high admiration and respect for all that, it still does not qualify me to educate others who don't know her in comparison to someone who actually knows her.
If someone posts a sysnopsis about her for those who are wondering who this "Laura" is, it undoubtedly will help others -- like myself -- who may be familiar with her but still left wondering why she never posts anymore.
Or better yet -- Laura, why don't you "return"? We miss you!
