Ms. Small,
Thank you for your service to the citizens of NH, including training others who would care for those who had little to no voice. Say hi to Joanie Dolloff when you see her. There will be no others like you two.

Few people are as committed to their work and place of employment as was Janet Small. She could always be counted on to have prepared for any contingency. NHH was blessed to have many competent, dedicated staff members, but Janet was among the very best. I know how reliable she was from my days as Superintendent.

I remember Janet from 1955. She was one of my teachers at the school. I only wish I had stayed in training but left the next Fall and got married. My name was Lillian Forbes ,now Thibeault. She was a great person and teacher. She will be missed.
