I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Jean at the Harrison High School. She will be missed. With my sympathy, Flora Grasso

We have nothing but the fondest memories of Jean. From being the high school librarian while we were in school, to being a colleague on the Board of Directors of the Harrison Council for the Arts, Jean was always ready to help, inform and share her knowledge and love of the arts.
