Jane Bodenschatz, former secretary of SEMO

When I picked up the newspaper and realized that Jane's husband, Leonard, had died, I began to make plans to go to Jackson for the visitation.   I wanted to personally tell Jane (who was Bill Stacy's secretary when he was President of SEMO ) how sorry I was and I wanted her to know that this meant enough to me to come over to Jackson.  And I wanted to see her children, Donna and David.

Jordan took me over ==he is my chief funeral goer and taker--and I was so pleased that I went.  Jane was so thrilled to see me and wanted to know all about my children and family.   She said four times how glad she was to see me.   And her face lit up in a fun joy!

Jordan and I went to our favorite -- Dexter Barbecue and we feasted and laughed.   He is now into Hockey.

So Leonard Bodenschatz, rest in peace!
