What an excellent choice for FReeper of the Day!!!

Utah Girl is very loyal, cheerful, and positive ^{(see footnote 1)} .... always willing to help others with a problem if she can ..... she is a person of great faith and true goodness. Her threads during the Olympics were wonderful and brought the event "home" to all of us. Often she's the one who posts the transcripts of the White House press conferences and other such events. At a time when there are some who are detracting from FR, Utah Girl is always adding value to the forum with patience, her positive outlook, and her genuine concern and caring about others.

She's someone I'm very proud and privileged to call my friend!

¹Except when she's talking about the media ..... and don't even mention the Troll of the White House press conferences to her unless you want to see her go ballistic .... hehe!

Thanks for your post and tribute to your friend Utah Girl. It really is amazing how much she does on the threads...she has a very busy life - a challenging career, a large family she is very close to (think family values), a voracious love of reading and books....I could go on and on. But of the things you mentioned, I think her PATIENCE is worthy of a repeat. I have never seen her lose her cool on a thread - she is always so very polite to even some posters who are ill-informed and/or just plain rude.
