Janet spent untold hours landscaping, planting and beautifying the property of her home.  Spring could never come too soon for her as she enjoyed the new blooms and blossoms throughout.  Look at the front of her home... 

Janet never had enough days to spend on the beautiful ocean beaches.  She was misty eyed, as she wished so much to be able to go back for just one more hour on the beach to savor the breeze, meditate by the sound of the surf, smell the salt in the air, and feel the sand between her toes 

She became an accomplished masseuse and sought extensive training to be "the best".  Trained in many forms of massage, Reiki, Trager and Chinese Energetic Medicine, she opened her own business and had many regular and exttremely grateful clients.

Janet spent several years in the food and beverage business in some very elite and 5 star locations.  She was the best of the best as a food server; as a beverage manager and manager overall.  Here in her early professional years at The Breakers in Pam Beach.

She didn't just survive secondary education. Besides a good student, Janet set a new watermark in achievement.  She represented the Anchor Club as Kick-off Queen, and assisted the coaches with the baseball team.  She played in the school orchestra as one of their best violinists, was in several clubs and a host of extracurricular activities. She sang carols at Christmas parties in Palm Beach.  Here her senior picture.

Within the gallery of this site are her school pictures to enjoy.  We note that Janet was routinely at the center of attention throughout.  She was fully engaged in whatever she did, particularly extracurriclar activities, and always building a circle of friends.  And she rarely if ever was NOT turning the heads of the boys.   Here is her first school picture.

As evident in this photo, Janet had big round beautiful eyes. This look, those big  eyes earned her a nickname of "Tweety Bird" as a baby from her daddy who adored her so much.  Later he abandoned that baby nickname for "Babe".

With one and only one son in the family and already three daughters, yours truly, the brother (and I guess my sisters as well) really were counting on the parents to bring home a new little baby boy in early April 1958.  But it was not to be, and while for a brief moment or two, I experienced some disappointment, I can say that lasted but only a few moments as I was introduced to and met my princess sister, Janet.  She was then, and she was always a beautiful girl and a lady.
