Hello

Condolences to the Maxwell family. I was a reporter at the Herald-Standard and first met Janet when I covered the Uniontown School Board. I was struck both by her intelligence and willingness to stand up for what was right. She challenged everyone to do the right thing. She was by far the best school board member that I ever met. I eventually became editor of the Herald-Standard and our friendship continued when she became the director of the Women's Resource Center. She was also terrific in that job. Uniontown was very lucky to have such a person in its midst. And I was lucky to have met her and consider herself a friend. She was truly a unique person and one who will be missed by all who knew her.

Take care!
