I remember JANE when she and her husband Dan were newly assigned to B-flight. Women in Maintenance was a rarity during those early Enroute Years but B-flight had it's first Sweetheart. I have a few photos of her in her during her ENROUTE COMBAT DAYS while she worked with me on the Weekly Friday Medivac. She liked the 8 to 10 hr Quick turn Medivac C-141A Missions that were parked on the Pit 3 location and supposed to launched within the 3 to 5 hrs time frame.I was helping Stan Miller in trying to locate her for the 2009 REUNION. I was shocked to be given the news of her passing.
My Sincere SYMPATHY to her FAMILY.-----FIG
