Hi Gary and all on the list serve. I remember Janet from childhood and even
through later years. She and Mark came over several times and we also saw
them at chapter meetings. Janet gave me a tape with different artists.
Probably my best memory of her was going to the St. Louis Galleria mall and
meeting Vince Gill. Unfortunately, I don't still have the autographed CD of
his, but I still have the memory. Janet got her CD signed to Jannis, instead
of Janet,. I guess she fantasized about being his wife. She drove me home
afterword and we listened to it. I also remember her sweet singing voice.
She will be missed.At 10:50 AM 11/23/2010, you wrote:
