Experimenter.

Her arrival was subtle…

If a “media darling” can be called subtle…

And her media has been darling.

Some were afraid of her passion for the now.

But she’s turned out to be pretty cuddly.

She’s played well with others and brought them glory.

creating frames-- and friendships.

She had an inside/outside eye on the prizes,

adding water to the information ocean…

and joining Hillers in historic moments.

She swims in media,

She’s worked on the frontlines

and in the festive halls of glamorous giving.

She’s been a supportive supervisor,

a crackerjack strategist,

and a relentless experimenter,

championing leaders--

while pushing for real progress at every stage.

So here’s to Ms. O, wherever she goes, and here’s wishing her impact wherever she

lands.

Remember Blue Planet!
