I remember Jan with fondness as we were neighborhood kids in OP, before the sprawl. She was Dale's baby sister. I remember in the early Beatle Mania days, we all liked John or Paul, but she chose George as her favorite. He had the same birthday month and liked purple like she did. She was a great dancer and really loyal as a WHB 40 Star Survey collector. Jan was a very joyful person and loved to laugh. She will be missed by many.
