Bob: I just received my Denisonian magazine and noted that Janie had passed away. Although we had not spoken with each other since Denison days, we did date while students there and very much enjoyed the company of each other and I enjoyed visiting with her family on what I think was Waggar Road in Rocky River. My hearfelt sympathies are extended to you. It is a small world...after living in Europe and Hawaii after Denison I have been counsel for McAfee on Great America Parkway in Santa Clara, and of course did not have any idea where Janie lived...I am also so sorry to learn of her long illness and wish her peace.
