...someone confirming it but, no, I can't confirm it. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

She was the official DU greeter, back in the day. She really made newbies feel welcome and at home. I'm pretty sure my first few hundred posts were made with the goal of being acknowledged by NewYawker99. She really knew how to throw a milestone party.

I would very much like to believe that she's still out there, somewhere...

If you're still out there, NewYawker99, I want to thank you for making me feel so welcome at a time and in a place that was otherwise, pretty intimidating.
