Jean-Jean the typing machine was a friend to all. She was like the mother I lost and always had an encouraging word or a stern look. Loved that woman.

Jean, Jean The Typing Machine. She was a friend, an adviser, a counselor, a sounding board and one great person. They have it right when they say "they don't make 'em like that anymore" I miss you.

Debbie, the day I saw Jean last we were laughing and talking and telling people about our volkswalking and how we embarrassed ourselves by walking across the Pebble Beach greens when we got lost on walk in Monterey. Jean was great to walk and travel and work with. She was a good friend; always fun and always there for her friends, which I think was just about everybody she met. I feel blessed to have known her.

Debbie, on my very first day at DOJ in November of 1967, I was welcomed by your mom. She was so friendly and made me feel as if I had worked there for years. Truly a great lady.
