Julie was one of the smartest, most passionate people it was my great honor to know. I quote a few of her sayings often, and I try to remember the lessons I learned from her. She was smart, sometimes funny, and always on point. She was a great asset to the region, to the arts and humanities, to many organizations, and they are all the better for having her for having her as an advocate. I am sorry I didn't see her obituary in time to tell her family this in person. I am sure they know how much she was loved and appreciated. I am glad she gave her talents to this region. She will be missed.
