Yes, that was Allegra, and it wasn't "supposedly". She did work for a gov't sub-contractor in the Middle East, and posted plenty of pics to prove it. I really miss her, too. She was definitely one of the more interesting (and very NICE) FReepers I've seen here over the years.
I miss a LOT of FReepers who have been banned, or the *many* who have left FR on their own since about the spring of 2007 or so...
Thank you!
There's a few I miss who have left this mortal coil (kattracks and CHIEF Negotiator, for example) but not any who left because they wanted to "moderate" (ie., sacrifice) genuine conservative principles. This site manages to keep refreshing itself with new blood while maintaining plenty of veterans to sniff out the trolls and it's all good.
