I met Jane when I went to work at the same insurance agency ... it was a summer job for me between my first two years of college. ..
..
I always was fond of Jane and found her to be lively and funny and kind and very helpful as well as very good at her job !!
We had a kind boss, Mr. Pearson who often rewarded our hard work with special times ... I remember enjoying spending time with Jane that summer .... especially this day out for the Office Picnic that we spent with our boss at Cliff House the summer of 62 !
I am glad to hear that Jane had a good life full of family and what sounds like good times together... I never saw her again after that summer but will always remember her with affection and pleasure.
