Both myself and Pat Taylor Stephens were truly sad to learn of Janis' passing. We remembered her birthday this past week, but could not get a response until we did more calling to others in the "BofA" group that we all were part of when we all lived in Los Angeles in the mid-1970's.

We shall miss Janis greatly as we shared many memories of the days at BofA and when I was stationed at Kirtland Air Force base in Albuquerque.

I'll forward this notice of passing to Terry and Minic who are in Kentucky, and to John Carlough who lives in Europe.

Debbie, I hope you are well as you worked with me at Westwood Village BofA. I always appreciate your efforts in the overall work ethics at WWVillage.
