Personal note from Frank: It was a joy getting to know Jan, via phone, in the run-up to the reunion. She retained her artist's attitude and never embraced technology. She told me that not only did she not have a computer, she had never (ever?) had an e-mail and she was, in fact, calling me from a rotary dial phone from the house she had lived in most her life.
