She was the head of Proofreading and I was the head of the Composition team at that time. Over the years we have worked together in various capacities but then actively worked together again at Stratford Publishing Services where I was the head of the Mac Department and she was the head of QC/Proofreading for many years before Stratford merged with TexTech International. We continued working together in this new venture until her retirement. (I am still employed there.) Judith is dynamic, versatile, and an expert in the areas of copyediting and Quality Control for both content and aesthetics of diverse book materials. She has always been open to learning new methods and technology and always brought fresh ideas and humor into our various tasks.

I have no hesitation in recommending Judith as a great colleague and resource." and "Judith is first a dear friend and I write this recommendation with a balancing of personal and professional views.
