Jean's zest for life was only intensified by her awareness that she lived on borrowed time. She never seemed to sleep! She taught me about Hegel's thesis, antithesis and synthesis over smuggled Southern Comfort in our freshman dorm.
I so enjoyed talking with Jean about writing and that's what we were doing before class the day she died. That's why we were going to be late to class that day and ran up the hill from our dorm. I went into a different classroom and didn't know what had happened until later. I didn't believe the girls who were telling me she had died at first because I had been with her just a short while earlier and she was so very alive! What a terrible loss.

I remember the day she died, running to class. I swore I would never forget her, and I never have. Carol Shloss

I have a typescript of her last poems ... it's been a keepsake for me over these years. She taught me many lessons, more than she ever knew.

She was one of the friendliest people on our dorm floor that freshman year. I have not forgotten her, either.
