No, that convention was not her first. 




And yes, she never complained verymuch at all.  She was a very special

Hi Conanda,
She certainly had a lot of grit.
If that was the first time she came to a Convention that was truly amazing.
How many of us would have the courage at that point in our lives.
Such an inspiration.
