I got to meet her on more than one occasion and this lady just oozed professionalism and a pleaseure to talk to. Now I know this is going to sound totally geeky, but my 16 year old daughter is named Sarah Jane. We liked the name Sarah to begin with so it was easy to get the wife to go along with the whole name. I told Lis about this at a Who convention in Chicago a few months before my daughter was born and she took information and I figured I'd never hear from her again. When my daughter was born she sent a package that contained all sorts of signed memorabilia that my daughter has to this day. You'll be missed Lis....

I ask because my wife tells the story all the time, her anesthesiologist in the hospital for delivery was from the UK and he and I spent 3 hours talking Dr Who much to my wife's dismay....
