I had the luck, fun and privilege of being friends with Jenny while at the ANU Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies in the mid 1990s. Today I have just heard of her death, and I'm very sad. Although I had not frequently been in touch with her since I left Australia in 1996, just knowing she was there and rocking on was like a favorite touchstone.
Jenny was an immense influence on me, she was a good friend, and I loved her dearly. Her sense of humor, her irreverence to authority, her mischievousness, her forthright honesty, her laidback spirit, and her unerring sense of what is truly important, all these have enriched my life, and I'm sure that of many others.
Jenny, here's to you!
