I met Jan through Kae Fogden, another keen golfer, when Jan came with her to both the Stratford Festival and the Shaw Festival. She fitted in immediately with our group of 6 women who went annually to both Festivals.
She and I had lots to talk about, both from Montreal, and we both took P. and O.T. at McGill. She was always fun, chatty, interesting,and as someone said, "she was a classy lady". So elegant and chic and smart.
Sadly our outings ended when Kae died 2 years ago, and I've not seen Jan for at least 2 years, but I remember her well and with affection.
My sympathy to all her family, Jane Aitken.
