Thanks Jean!
Thanks for this website. I don't remember the first time I met Jean - I was most likely an infant. Jean was my godmother, and she and Ronni were longtime great friends of my mother Frances Scott, who also illustrated several of Jean's children's books. They used to celebrate their birthdays together on Jan 28th (my mom's was the 29th, so they split the difference.)
What I will remember most about Jean was her perennial kindness. We had many fond visits to Vermont as children.
I'm so grateful for the visit my mother and I had with Jean and Ronni at the farm in 2006, and also that I had spoken with Jean just a few months ago. Jean was a brilliant person, and will always have a place in my heart.
Thinking of you all, and wish I could be there to Celebrate Jean this weekend. Please give Ronni a hug from me.
