Very sad.<p>Jon Postel has RFC 2468: <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2468" rel="nofollow">http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2468</a><p>It would be nice if Joyce got something similar, although I guess it's trickier now.<p>Joyce is mentioned in RFC 1336: <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1336" rel="nofollow">http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1336</a><p>Her section of that is nice, she worked on stuff we've all used a lot.<p><pre><code>           Ms. Reynolds has contributed
           to the development of the DARPA Experimental Multimedia Mail
           System, the Post Office Protocol, the Telnet Protocol, and
           the Telnet Option Specifications.  She helped update the File

This is what she said in 1992 for that RFC.<p><pre><code>           It has been interesting thirteen years in my professional
           life to participate in the Internet world, from the
           transition from the TENEX to TOPs-20 machines in 1979 to
           surviving the NCP to TCP transition in 1980.  Celebrating the
           achievement of the ISI 1000 Hour Club where one of our TOPs-
           20 machines set a record for staying up and running for 1000
           consecutive hours without crashing, to watching the cellular
           split of the ARPANET into the Milnet and Internet sides, and
           surviving the advent.  All in all, my most memorable times
           are the people who have contributed to the research and
           development of the Internet.  Lots of hard, intense work,
           coupled with creative, exciting fun.  As for the future,
           there is much discussion and enthusiasm about the next steps
           in the evolution of the Internet.  I'm looking forward.
