What an amazing woman! I was aware of Jeanette's law school venture through my parents; they had purchased a copy of "Grandma Goes to Law School." I love the story of her standing ovation at the graduation and how the family stood out in the crowd wearing their orange tee-shirts... A few years ago I was using the Rochester JCC on a visit there and saw Jeanette working out in the fitness center. I guess staying fit, among other things, enabled her to live to 96... Our families have a long-term connection from the time Dave and my father were classmates at the U of R, then founded Elgeet with Pete Terbuska. The rest is history... I was also interested to learn that Jeanette and Dave made certain you children learned life skills from an early age (e.g. taking turns with meal prep and meal decision-making, the boys and girls alike)... For eight children in a family, ages fifties to seventies to ALL be married must also be a reflection on your upbringing... May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Sincerely, Susan
