I first heard of Jeanie years ago when our former neighbors in Colorado Springs, Bob & Naomi Grainger, visited her and Harold in Wichita while doing genealogy research, and they told me what a delightful person she was. I met Jeanie for the first and only time this past June at my aunt Lois McKnight's birthday party, when I took a picture of her & Harold to send to Bob's widow, Naomi. I also found her to be such a nice lady. My sympathies go to the entire family.
