Rick, I am so saddened to hear of Janet's death. She was such a cheerful presence in our neighborhood. She had the ability to laugh at herself and was very modest about her remarkable talents.

Rick... so very sorry to hear that Janet had passed. It was my privilege to know her and work with her on programs such as BC2A, OASIS, and Jaguar. Shelley and I still have fond memories of the week we spent in Hawaii for OASIS. Janet was the very essence of a good manager: perceptive, conscientious, and supportive of her team. She was also a superb editor, and I took advantage of that on many occasions. More than that, she was a good friend and fun to be around. My condolences to you, the...

So very saddened... Janet was always such a wonderful mentor and friend to me for so many years at Draper. My fondest memories go back to the Space Shuttle days and working together on control systems.

I, among many others, spent a lot of time in the trenches with Janet at Draper helping to write and win those proposals, on business travel, and doing the work. She was always very conscientious about her work, and always loyal to those on her team. It was a pleasure working with her and I'm very sorry and saddened to hear of this news. My condolences to Rick and her family.
