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!

Subject: 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.
