>I'm saddened to report the death of Ceil Silver (formerly known as Ceil Rosenfeld) on January 3, 2009. Ceil was a former MVP and widely known in the VFP community for her years as co-editor of the Tips and Tricks column in FoxPro Advisor, as well as her long-term involvement with the Westchester chapter of PADD (the Professional Association of Database Developers).

Oh, no. That is truly awful. I really enjoyed "seeing" her on Compuserve and at some conferences. What rotten news to start the year.

I also have one rotten memory involving her, unfortunately. When she was first named an MVP I thought it was a good idea to make a snide remark about her being presented the award in a bar. I tried to clarify that I thought she was deserving, just didn't like the bar part, but the damage was done. She was upset with me and so was Garrett. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
