[ih] re joyce reynolds

Dear IH list:

Joyce Reynolds is a co-author in many of the RFCs that Postel 
authored.

Could anyone shed more light for me on what her role was, 
exactly? Was she an engineer working with Postel, a general 
assistant to Postel, or other?

I have read many internet histories but have not seen a good 
explanation of her role in the creation of the Internet or 
her work relationship with Postel.

I recently submitted another question to this mailing list 
regarding Postel's RFC 819. I appreciated the several 
responses. I found them very, very useful, too. To explain 
the reason for my questions: I am writing a doctoral 
dissertation and have found a need to know and write more 
than expected about Jon Postel. To my delight, I must say. I 
do look forward to sharing my work with the Postel Center 
when it is done. 

Best,
