1. Wow- Ellen, this young woman is

incredibly lucent and her writing is excellent.

What an eye opener.

If only more people had the technology to help them communicate
we would understand so much more about them.

Thanks so much for sharing this.

2. I just noticed this thread, sorry

She's a good friend and neighbor of mine, and a sometimes DUer, though I'm pretty much sworn to secrecy on what she goes by on DU.

3. Thanks.

Hope she's OK.

4. Awesome! Does she know about this group?

Could you convince her to "out" herself, as it were?

5. I don't think she has a star

She does not post here much.

But I think I will be able to convince her to out herself about the same time I can convince NASA to sign her up as a shuttle pilot. It ain't gonna happen. She is sick of reporters and of her more than 20 minutes of fame.
