Deepest sympathy to Janet's family & friends from another Presbyterian University Hospital School of Nursing graduate. Presby was a cross between a convent & the military. All who "survived" our nursing school were well prepared for life! I wish I had known Janet personally, but we all shared the "Presby Spirit"& she was our sister.
