So sorry to hear of Jane's passing we graduated from CPHS together back in 1954. Ward Lawton

Jane will always be remembered with gratitude for her very valuable contributions to the CPHS 1954 class, and the societal values she added to the community in which we grew up. I have very fond memories of the people and experiences in the community and in College Park High School.

Jane and I attended the spring picnic at S. R. Young last year. We discovered that she was the sole 1954 classmember and I was the sole 1955. We agreed to get more members of our respective classes to the 2017 party. Sad that she won't be there.
