Fern passed away?

Fern was responsible for me being the moderator of all the forums on the BBS in the early days of TUG. In those days I had to delete messages every day because the capacity was very limited. The BBS also crashed several times.

I also met Fern many times in person at our NORCAL lunches.

This is indeed a shock. May she RIP and be united with Jerry.

I have been a huge fan of this wonderful, spunky lady since the early 90's, when she used the well-deserved title of Timeshare Guru. Her sound advice and witty comments in Fern's Café gave me many hours of entertainment, as well as increasing my knowledge of TS tricks. We had the pleasure of meeting Fern on two occasions in Las Vegas. WE had lunch together at the South Point.

RIP, dear Fern. Now you will be reunited with your beloved Jerry.

Very sad, I got to take her out for breakfast when I went to Vegas. I said you pick it I don't care where we go I got the check. So she took me to this place way off the strip where we had a huge breakfast. The check was $20. Even though her heart was on Tug she helped me here and she had Fern's Cafe here until a few was breaking her chops and she wanted to leave. I have kept in touch once in a while but not as much recently.

that is so sad, and it brought to mind JoAnn from Lehigh, who was a good friend of Fern's, and we haven't heard from her for a long time.

Very sorry to hear this sad news. I never met Fern but back in the days before TUG I searched the internet for timeshare information and stumbled onto Fern's Cafe. I knew nothing and learned so much during my first couple of months from Fern. She always provided great information and I enjoyed reading all of her informative posts.

Just recently I was thinking that the next time I go to Vegas I was going to contact Fern and get together to thank her for all I learned from her when I was a newbie.

RIP

I was lucky to meet and have lunch with Fern in November with PatH and others in Las Vegas. I feel so lucky to have had that opportunity. She has helped so many learn about timeshares and more. She will be missed.
