Asunto: Janis Booth, RIP

I'm sad to pass on news that Janis Booth has passed away. Janis may be

more familiar to you as "Jim" during her active FoxPro career. She was

66.

Janis was a 2013 winner of the FoxPro Lifetime Achievement Award [1],

a Microsoft MVP 1993-2003, a key member of the 1994 Microsoft MVP

Steering Committee, author of Hentzenwerke's "Effective Techniques"

with Steve Sawyer, updated by dFPUG for VFP 9[2], co-author of "Visual

FoxPro Unleashed" from Sams, a frequent magazine contributor,

including the premiere issue of FoxPro Advisor, and a speaker at

conferences in North America and Europe. [3]

Where ever Janis was at a conference, there was likely to be a party.

A LOUD party. And scotch. Tom Rettig taught her appreciation of good

single-malt. I will raise a glass of Macallen tonight, hoping that Tom

and Janis are, too.

In later years, Janis was an activist with various community outreach

organizations, advocating for the fair treatment of LGBT people.

Janis was my friend for many years, and I will miss her.
