I have been going through my pictures and sorting them to
various sets on FLICKR. One group of pictures was of a tour we took
of the Marietta Pilgrimage December about 2005 -2007.
There were a few buses that shuttled paid visitors from one place to the another. One the bus we rode. Other than the bus driver there was usually a volunteer tour guide that would point out interesting historical facts between destinations.
On one of the buses was this lady in the picture. I came across this today. It seemed that I remembered something about her in the news. I zoomed in on her name tag, Debra Bernes. I googled Debra Bernes and found out she was a judge and she died July 10, 2010, of cancer. I remember her on the bus pointing out historical facts being a ball of fire, full of jubilant positive energy. I'm sure when I learned of her death in 2010 I felt bad for her and her family, but how quickly we forgot.
PS. I posted the above on my facebook last week and Jim Morris, who had watched her professionally, had this comment:

Jim Morris She strove to be the best at everything she did. She was brilliant, vivacious, beautiful, genuine, a devoted elected official, loving mother, and even bus docent. I'm not surprised you would remember even a brief acquaintance with her.
