It had taken two years of assiduous online searching before I found her. Her electronic profile was gaunt, in fact, almost non existent but I knew that she could provide the answers that I needed. I hoped that the fact that I had tracked her down would be sufficient introduction and would not scare her away. It was almost a shame to disturb her as she concentrated on an old style paper book with what I guessed was an espresso coffee in front of her. She had cut her hair short since the single blurred image that I had unearthed had been taken but I was certain that it was her. It was time to introduce myself.
