My one story about Molly - I met her as a speaker at an XML Conference around 1999 or 2000. She was extremely welcoming and kind to me, a wet behind the ears nobody at the time. We went for a speakers' pre-conference dinner that night, and it was decided we would have Sushi.
As a Northern Brit I had never seen nor eaten sushi before, never mind looked at the menu. I asked if she minded ordering for me, and she graciously did so.
As my first time eating sushi I assumed the small amount of guacamole provided would be topped up once I finished it, so I happily spread the top of a piece of sushi with half of my "guacamole". Never have I wanted to scream so much in my life. Molly just kindly passed me some extra water and made sure I was OK.
I never really kept up with her, but she'll always be there sat next to me when I had my first ever wasabi experience.
