(...) Btw, does her name ring a bell?

I, recently, read an FM Bill Jordan's article (*) in regards to certain very strong players' participation in Correspondence Chess under assumed names some decades ago.
I am not going to elaborate any further, apart from saying that I wouldn't really pay too much attention as to who was who in that noble form of chessic activity in the 70s or early 80s!
I am sure Bill is always willing to share a yarn from the old days, when brilliancy and talent combined with that inherent larrikin spirit helped to constitute what Aussie chess reality is about today!
I am also sure that Bill, being an indispensable part of this tradition should one day publish his plethora of anecdotal reminiscences in a printed or e-book form.
Combined with his excellent pieces of practical as well as entertaining and extremely useful advice to Chess players of all levels such publication would certainly sell well!
(*) I have a collection of those articles somewhere but again it's up to Bill to reveal publication, article title etc!

Yes. I don't believe I've ever met Carmelita (and don't know anything about her playing OTB) but I have seen her name, and James (S. J. Henri) was Tasmanian OTB state champion four times in the late 1970s.

O I played both Henri and Carmelita in last years championship. O am playing carmelia again this year. I cannot comment on the game which is still in progress. Visitirs may be able to view is at the ICCF web site.

Are the tournament ICCF rated? Are the games centaur chess?
