Lorraine
Bradford, Pennsylvania
I've known Lorraine since 1992, when we met up in Colorado.  Since then we've both gotten our doctorates and have both run research institutes for major universities (OK, technically, she's been an interim director and I've been a deputy director, but really, we were running things all along).  Lorraine is one of the smartest people I know and has this tendency to do good things for people, like working in public health and such.  She has also come a long way from the days when the end tables by her sofa were simply moving boxes turned upside down with a sheet thrown over them (bet you thought I forgot about that, sweetie!!).  I haven't gotten to see her much in the last few years, but I'm hoping that she'll move to DC soon (hint, hint...).
