Veronica Drake Maynard ~ Talented Research Specialist, Savvy Lady SysOp and One Knowledge Genealogist & Future CIO ~ better known to her friends as SysOp Jammie of the Jammie Party BBS in Hampton, Virginia Jammie was a regular on FidoNet's Indian Affairs Echo Message Conference, and then becoming a valued Member of Native Net, Native Computer Network. Veronica, who traces a branch of her family's lineage to Cherokee Indian background, had a nationally recognized online Computer BBS Service with a focus on Genealogy. For any who may not be familiar, Genealogy is the Study of a Family Tree, family members lineage, history of births and deaths back through an ancestral line. Veronica skill as a SysOp was evident as she knowledgeably built her Computer System and Programmed the Online BBS service, which contained an extensive Genealogy DataBase that was available to all who registered on her BBS. To conduct her ongoing Research in tracing Family Records of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Veronica frequently came to Washington, DC to visit the National Archives, the largest Repository of .Recorded documents and data, in the United States.
Often mistaken for Recording Artist Reeba Macintyre, SysOp Jammie is just as strikingly lovely & talented

SysOps Veronica and Michael combine artistic creativity to Design the Official Native Net Logo
	After frequent email message exchanges on our computer Networks, Veronica and I finally had the chance to meet in person, early one Saturday morning when she was staying in town at a local hotel. Although I had been up late working the Friday night shift at US News & World Report, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Veronica. As we sat and talked over Coffee and Tea, it was wonderful to extend our online association to a face to face personal one. One of the Projects we collaborated on was the Design of the logo that was met with an appreciation by Members of the Native Net Network all across America and Canada, and voted to be adopted as the Official Network Logo. One of the members had silk screen T-shirts and hats made using it. Using telecommunications and computer skills to collaborate with Colleagues and Actively undertake Projects and Programs is always a focus of ICUG! Veronica, also attended The Prayer Vigil On the Mall here in Washington.
Of course you may notice that it bears a strong resemblance to the ICUG logo. In the circle are the words ~ "Sharing, Teaching, Healing & Preserving"
