To say the least. The Buck Rogers property was (and still is) owned by the Dille Family Trust. My understanding is that Lorraine is a member of that family. (If you look at the
Buck Rogers entry on Wikipedia, Lorraine is referred to as "Lorraine Dille".)
According to
http://www.acaeum.com/forum/about3485-20.html, she's the granddaughter of John Flint Dille, co-creator of Buck Rogers.
Here's the full post:
This is from the "Buck Rogers-The First 60 Years in the 25th Century" book that was published by TSR in 1988.
"Lorraine Dille Williams-
Lorraine Dille Williams's association with Buck Rogers is rich in heritage. Her grandfather, John Flint Dille, was founder of the National Newspaper Syndicate of America and co-creator of the comic strip Buck Rogers in the 25th Century with Dick Calkins and Phil Nowlan. Her father, Robert Crabtree Dille, was president of the National Newspaper Syndicate. In every way, she grew up with Buck.
After receiving a B.A. degree in History from the University of California at Berkeley, she worked at the National Newspaper Synicate, as an assistant administrator at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, and held various administrative positions with the National Easter Seal Society. She joined the TSR staff as executive vice president, administration, in 1985 and became TSR's president and chief executive officer in that same year.
In addition to her other duties, she has taken up the task left her by her father-"protecting the integrity of Buck and maintaining the vision of John Flint Dille, Dick Calkins, and Phil Nowlan. "
There's also a pic of her on Monte Cook's site:
