I have a good memory of Janet from when i was a new guy in 1965. Like it or not she was a "stewardess", proudly I might add, back when Delta was a smaller carrier run by real airline people. Glad I knew and worked with her on the Convair 880.

Such a special lady! Many fond memories flying with this senior mama! Loved her dry wit and zest for life!

What a character! I have so many fond memories of Janet a beautiful person in and out. RIP my friend.She never wanted to call me by Reed just my maiden name!

She was a funny lady, quirky but classy. She had a wonderful palette for good food and good wine. I loved to cook for them when they came to visit.
