Sorry to hear of Jan's passing. I taught with her and respected and admired her work as a superb English teacher and a tireless worker for teachers' rights. I'll never forget the retirement parties held at her beautiful Merced home. She was truly an elegant woman who was respected by all who met her.

I met Jan through her husband Herb in the early 80's. To know her was such a pleasure, she was one of those people that made you happy just knowing her. She was an exceptional person and will be missed by all her former students as well as friends and family.
