I knew Jane, the fiery redhead, through teaching at Selbyville Middle School, starting in 1979 or so. She taught Career Ed as her first gig, I believe. When she was married to her husband Bas Entezamvesary, which I can't spell anymore... she made her students learn to say her name before they could go to lunch! She also had "silent days" where kids were not allowed to speak. Not in my bag of tricks.
Later, she taught Computer and continued on with that brand new technology.
Jane was a true lover of all animals and the joys of nature. She loved the beach and travel. Later in life, her little home on Lakeshore Drive in Lewes was perfect for her as a single lady. She once told me about a green snake coming down from a tree to "meet her" as she sat near the water. She provided little hideaway places, under flat pottery, etc. I uncovered one once and took off, true wimp that I am.
She loved a good party and was a thoughtful person. Another hobby was buying and selling unusual items she found at sales and online. She had a good eye and a full house.
She was a true individual who didn't filter too much of what she thought or said. I've never been lucky enough to have another friend like her!
Sincerely,
Ruth Ruggiero
