If you're in a foxhole, you couldn't do much better than to have Kylie in it with you. She was critical to making so many things work, flexible to build solutions on the fly. And she has a motor that doesn't quit. It was a pleasure to work with her so early in her career, because I'll always get to say that I 'knew her when'.
