I first met Julie briefly in the late 80s at a BOS convention. As my friendship with Rick developed, I stayed at their house and got to know her better. She was one of the friendliest, most caring people I have ever met. Cheerful throughout adversity and hugely supportive to her (then) husband.

She finally lost her battle with cancer in June 2012 and the world is a much poorer place without her.
