I joined this Yahoo group just to post this reply to your message
(though I'm not saying that I won't post more :) ).

I agree with you wholeheartedly; I have met Laura twice, and - as you
describe - she has a sort of "positive aura" that affects everyone
around her (for the better, and perhaps me more than most. :) )

Also, she is the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen.

I might be meeting her again soon. :)
