It was always a treat to spend time with Jan and Pete. We will miss them, but will cherish the good memories.

Jan and I were involved with Anchorage Opera and the Anchorage Opera Guild since Don and I moved to Anchorage in 1974. She was a tireless worker and could make almost any simple chore fun. Her laughter and smile could lift any situation. She also had a very sharp mind and could get a group to move projects forward quickly and graciously. I hope she and Peter are together dancing in the Aurora for eternity.
