Like so many here, I never personally knew Red although I felt that in a way I did through all of her posts which I looked forward to reading. When ever she was absent for a while there was a sort of disappointment when I would log on and she still hadn't been posting. I had really looked forward to finally meeting her at the OBE, I did get to see the lady in the black Red Maple Farms jacket she said she would be wearing on Friday. At the time she was talking with a group and I figured that I would get the opportunity to catch up with her on Saturday. Lesson learned, grasp the opportunity when it happens by or it may be gone forever. I will always remember the day I almost got to meet her, it was similar to glimpsing a celebrity. Rest In Peace Red, we will all miss you.
