Carol retired from Adobe and type design in the spring of 1999. I have a photo
of her (with me and Christopher Slye) taken on her last day at Adobe. She moved
a bit north of the Bay Area, and set to work doing textile-based design, and I
think some jewelry design as well. She is not yet ready to show any of that work
in any highly public way.

Carol left Adobe primarily because the company just kept on growing and she just
isn't comfortable in a large corporate environment. Working on her own seems to
be much more her pace.

Although she has ceased doing any new typeface designs, Carol does still consult
and offers direction on extensions being done to her previous Adobe typefaces.
This continues to be true; I have recently been internally circulating a
proposal to add some additional weights and language support to one of her
typefaces, and she expressed her willingness to be involved and her opinions on
the specific proposals.

Is there any way I can get a hold of that picture, could you send it to me via
e-mail?

I am also doing a paper on her.

Thank you!

Sent. I had forgotten that Jim Wasco was in the picture as well.

Cheers,
