I knew Janice through her volunteer work at Shiloh Museum where I worked. She gave many hours and years to the museum's Sheep-to-Shawl program teaching spinning to so many school children. S-to-S volunteers and museum staff would line up at the cabin to get the incredible meals she made for us during the two day program. She spoiled us. Thank you Janice! Never to be forgotten.
