Karen Sparck-Jones, 2007.
Shieber post
When Margaret Tatcher resigned in 1990, Karen came to my office in the Computer Lab, shared with several other postdocs, excited by the news. Since I was alone in the office in the early morning, she exclaimed, `oh there is no one here' presumably for her to tell the good news, turn around and left. I started laughing, the news were really cause for jubilation.
Later on we became good friends and I remember fondly a walk in Nancy, after the conference dinner in 2004, talking about computing, linguistics, marriage and children.
