Here's what some of the other members wish to say to her or about her:

"I knew Coquette from the frequent, always enthusiastic notes she sent to help make the RFP program something all of us could be proud of. We need more volunteers like her." -- Kynn Bartlett

"Coquette, we all miss you!" -- Matthew Wickline

"I'm going to miss you, but I'll never forget the times we shared. Thanks for your support and enthusiasm throughout. (Hey, while you're at it, take a look at that monster table: it actually validates!)" -- Damon Zirkler

"I didn't know Coquette personally, though from reading her posts to HWG mailing lists, she seemed to be a warm and happy woman who was devoted to her family, loved graphics, and committed to helping build an important program within the Guild. We greatly appreciated her contributions and the time that she shared with us." -- Cindy Svec

This is something we saw regularly: *evil grin*

Right in the middle of an O/S War, she had this to say: Now I have to get a MAC so my life will be right :-)

This was her team Introduction:


Greetings fellow RFP team members!!  I am Coquette and am greatly pleased to a 
part of the team!! <wild aplause!!>******</wild aplause>           

I am as I like to say - "just me".  I have been plugged into the net a 
good 4 years now and have since I began been playing with writing HTML. I have 
the pleasure at the immediate time to not have to work which gives me sooooooo 
much time to finish all the projects I got started 6 months ago and perhaps get
myself on the web before the millinium.  I am one of 'those' people that get   
side tracked making my own images and loose great amounts of time screaming at 
Corel.                                                                         

I just relocated from sunny California to Long Island New York (about 6 months 
ago or so).  Why?  Well it's one of those I'm married to a sys admin and he got
one of those can't turn it down sort of job offers (although at this point I   
can't seem to remember why it couldn't be turned down *evil grin*).            

I have a great love of web publishing and graphics artistry and am working on  
turning a hobby into a lucrative way to pay the bills. Thanks to the benefit   
of living with a born to be tech geek I am surounded by hardware, the computers 
have more living space than I do, and have what seems to be an endless supply  
of book and software - now if I could just figure out how to import all that   
into the gray matter between my ears :-).  At any rate I have loads to learn   
and am loving every minute of it.                                              

Since I have a great deal of time on my hands due to a current inability to    
work at what I usually do (I've been a Chef for the past 18 years) I have all  
this time to dedicate to working with you wonderful people and hope to learn   
alot along the way.                                                            

Here's looking forward to a great time for one and all!!!                      

Just me
