Jan & Danny were special friends in our times of need and fierce competitors at cards in times of joy.
I've known Jan since I was five years old, but the memories that are most vivid to me are when she and my sister Jan started junior high together. We were neighbors and the two Jans were inseparable. They talked endlessly about the first day of junior high. They got their braces together. They practiced drill team routines on the front lawn. "We're the Midway Mohawks." They carried choo-choo purses and wore stretchy headbands. (Fashion 1962). They pantomimed songs from the girl groups The Ronnettes and the Shirrells. They signaled each other with the porch lights. Jan was always a full participant in life. She said yes to everything. I think my two Jans are together now, giggling.
