Working with her must have been awesome!

I wonder if that was difficult for her, given the rather mischevious streak that often shows up in her work and personal stories =0).  

I recall an account of her university days when she was tasked with lecturing over a slideshow for (IIRC) students of history.  She said that, after a while, she'd just start making things up; all the time the students would be taking notes.  Perhaps some of those students to this day are aghast at the things the History Channel has to say  =-D.

Laurie is definitely one of the often over-looked in discussions of EM pioneers that occasionally take place on this and other lists.  She has produced an amazing blend of EM and performance art.

Cheers,
Scott
