My prayers for her family for their comfort. I had known Jan since arriving at Gallatin High at the start of school in 1952.. Mr. Burtum, principal, asked her husband to be, George Cox, to introduce me around the school. I believe that Jsn was one of the older girls were became like big sisters at my library table. She will be missed by all who knew her.
