Met Janet and David at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's "Music and the Spoken Word" daily event in Salt Lake City after Janet was injured skiing in the Utah mountains. We were sitting next to each other. Always appreciated Janet's intelligence, love of the outdoors, and the assistance she rendered The Continental Adventures Series when she arranged a flight for a member who had fallen on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire... to be extradited rapidly back to his Florida home. Thank you once more, Janet, even at this late date. RIP
