Question Author
TTT - For many of us, it has been a long time. JtH and Ummmm knew each other outside of AB predating it by many years; I got to know Ummmm in 2006 and when CB was closed and when we migrated elsewhere we got to know each other well.
Ummmm knew many many people on here (whom I do not know) and to whom she talked to all the time off site. She chatted to loads of people and reached out to many on here in need. She has been a friend to many people but her discretion was such that no-one really knew to whom she really chatted because she didnt blab.
She met with a number of us in real life at different times (not always the same group together). Sadly she couldnt come to my wedding in 2019 because she was poorly - it would have been a hoot.
For once, I can safely say, I am glad it wasnt so anonymous.
