Sylvia, my friend, you WERE OEM. Foundation to what it has become all these decades later. You were unacknowledged, misjudged, disregarded, demeaned, insulted by governing officials and uniformed misogynistic bullies, but you ignored all and soldiered on and did your job with distinction, and no reward. You've earned your rest among devoted standard-bearers. God bless.
I didn't get to say goodbye to you, but the truth is, I don't think I ever could have anyway.
