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.

That is sad news, Ted. Janis (Jim at that time) spoke fairly regularly at the NNJFUG back in the day. A true VFP guru who was always willing to share knowledge with the community and as you say, fun to hang out with...

Sad news indeed.
I was only just reading messages of sympathy for her on Jon Koziol's Facebook page who is also fighting a huge battle with the big C for those of you who have ever come across him.
Makes you realise that we are all mortal.

Very much saddened to read this. I worked with Janis on several projects, and partied with her at countless conferences. One of my true friends in the tech community.

I did not get a chance meet Janis personally, but I remember purchasing a
VFP video training series presented by Jim Booth. I'm assuming this was the
same person. At the time, I found the videos very useful for training
employees and Jim did a great job presenting the information.
Very sad to hear this news. Godspeed, Janis!

I learned Visual FoxPro from (then) Jim back in 1999 on the AppDev video
series.
RIP, Janis.
