Of all ST legends, the greatest mystery is Reilly’s wife. She never writes, but is ever present. Reilly and other STers have among other things, told us this:
Reilly's wife is
partly French or somehow connected to France
a nice black attractive doctor lady
awesome and terrific
quaint, yet powerful
able to change a tire using only her left hand
the brain behind team Reilly and possible more knowledgeable about aviation
ST lurker
reading ST as a psychological study
good at handling practical jokes often turning them back at the joker
joining in on Birdapalooza/LA Urban Birding Adventure
fiercely protective about her anonymity
the owner of a Black belt and a dry sense of humor
good at climbing the stairs of Italian castles and churches
a former climber who did a major mixed route
prefers hiking, with a Chateauneuf du Pape Chaser
a Saint
from New Orleans?
If you have stories to share about the legend, you are invited to share them on this thread......
Yes, Reilly too……
Edited:
Thanks to Rottingjohnny, Crimpergirl, zBrown, Reilly, Donini and Matty. The "Reilly's wife" database has been updated.

She's awesome! They joined us on a Birdapalooza/LA Urban Birding Adventure. Both are terrific people and I'm hoping they'll join us again.

Just a rumor possibly, but I've heard that she knows more than Reilly about aviation.

Marlow, du ær nå offisielt en folkfiende. Did I mention she is fiercely protective of her
anonymity and that she is also a black belt? I will only add that she used to climb,
and did a major mixed route, but now prefers hiking, with a Chateauneuf du Pape chaser.

You're in trouble now big boy. Take a few months off and go search for that missing plane in the Indian Ocean.

That IS mysterious. I can only wonder. It doesn't sound like beer.

I've met her a few times.
Quaint yet powerful, she once changed a tire using only her left hand. If she had used both hands it would have been a 10k fall from the landing gear fairing she was holding onto.
Hope to see them both again soon.

2. Population without double counting: residents of multiple communes (e.g., students and military personnel) only counted once.
Drawing from the Album Laincel that dates from the second half of the 17th century
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. The village lies about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the east of the Rhône and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of the town of Avignon.
A ruined mediaeval castle sits at the top of the village and dominates the landscape to the south. It was built in the 14th century for Pope John XXII, the second of the popes who resided in Avignon. The commune is famous for the production of red wine and almost all the cultivable land is planted with grapevines.
So she likes the company of a stogie French wine connaisseur,
I mean
One who appreciates fine wines.
Then as to the meaning of the Norwegian:
(it is) Your honor (to be) now officially (a) public enemy.

There is an obvious need of a "Reilly's wife" database. Thanks to Rottingjohnny, Crimpergirl, zBrown, Reilly, Donini and Matty. The database (OP) has been updated.
Edited:
Thanks Big Mike. Lurker is added.
Johnboy. Saint added.
Captain: From New Orleans? is added

The mystery woman has good taste in men.
But has she got a first name, other than Missus?
Even my baloney has a first name...it's Oscar, of course.
And for that matter, I do not know Relilly's first name.
I know Marlow's name, but it's not Phil, Phillip, or Phylp.
The mystery continues unabated.
And the Taco wobbles on.

For Marlow to update his summary about the left-handed tire changing:
If she had used both hands it would have been a 10k fall from the landing gear fairing she was holding onto.
This seems to be an important element of the profile.
Did her hair still look perfect after that feat?

The real question is whether she is as "handy with the steel" as Reilly purportedly is?

Yes, a database IS being assembled, but some of you retards may not enjoy being innit.
She's never even been to New Orleans and she thinks those Quebec Frogs talk real funny like.
She has agreed to break out the crampons a bientot en Suisse. I've been put
on notice the route better be worthwhile. "But, honey, how can you go wrong
in the Valais?" An icier stare than is healthy for me ensued.
Esco, I hope you know what a petard is.

I do. I was told you were handy with la pistola and wondered if you'd passed that onto her. Or perhaps she schooled you in the finer points of handgunnery? Would add to the mystique at least....
