I'm very saddened by Janet's passing... I spoke with her about a month ago and she was doing poorly... I'm reminded of an Ambrose Bierce story where you look in the mirror and see someone else-- Janet.
Janet and I used to get kicked out of class for disrupting everyone and we were kind of proud of that? I'll miss her...😢
Ellen and I last saw Janet a couple of summers ago at The Lake Pointe Inn at McHenry, Maryland. What a surprise to hear a familiar voice; it turns out that we had the same favorite bed and breakfast. We had a pleasant conversation, catching up on the several years since the 50th reunion. I have fond memories of Janet's brilliance in WWHS science and math classes.
Janet was one of the few people from Whitman with whom I remained in contact over the years. We met and became friends at T. W. Pyle Junior High School. We were two female math and science nerds who hung out together. After her family, Janet’s passions in adulthood were birds and the right to vote. She ran the Audubon Christmas Bird Count in her area for many years. Despite her poor health, she went outside one year when there were 12 inches of snow on the ground to count birds. Janet supported voting rights through her membership in the League of Women Voters and by serving on the Maryland Board of Elections. Although we talked only every two or three months, I will miss her greatly.
I am so sorry to hear about Janet's passing. My father was a linguist and always said she had the best enunciation! I remember her as a kind and very thoughtful person.

Sad news indeed.

I don't have any words. So difficult for her family, just at the start of Passover. May memories of her be a blessing and provide comfort..
