Read MoreI was a student at Harper when I first learned to love writing and Jan was an inspiration to the whole class. She was funny, kind and very good as an instructor.

Her incredible interest in her students, technology, well simply everything around her always amazed me. Her energy, her genuine good will, well there will never be another like her, and for that the world is a much sadder place. Rest gently, my friend.

Jan was not only the best professor that I ever had, but also the most inspiring person I have come across. She had more drive, intelligence and kindness than any one at a much, much younger age. -----Linn Bourgeau

I'll remember Jan for her support of Harper College as a Board Member and volunteer in the early days. I met her and one sone in a course called Computers for the Family in about 1973.
