Good travel companions are hard to find!!! Twas my good luck to find Jane Schraudenbach a smart intrepid adventurer, to join me in my exploits.
It started, of all places...in a creek bed, when I ask if she was interested in visiting India. That initiated our incredible adventures: three trips to India, to Bali for an international Peace Conference with Bishop Tutu, then China, Vietnam, Egypt, Morocco, Rome, Spain, Machu Picchu and more.
Jane jumped enthusiastically...

My deepest sympathy to Jerry and family. I was fortunate to meet Jane through Women’s Connection Network. She was a mentor and friend as we served on the Board together. Her leadership, foresight, and mentorship were key to helping the organization and membership grow to the respected and recognized organization of today. She will always be remembered.

Jane helped found Womens Connection Network ( womens st louis charity) in 1996 and served as its Chairman for 6 years and later as treasurer for 4 plus. She was tireless . As a fellow board member she offered decisive leadership , wisdom, and solutions to a growing organization. Jane was also a friend to many ; full of compassion for all and readily shared her great mirth with us with stories of her travels, dogs , and family . She will be greatly missed by many of us in that...

Jane was such a smart, fun & sweet dear person. We, her 70 plus years Theta friends, already miss her.
We hope Jerry will join us at our Theta group dinners when he feels up to it.
