My dear friend Janie and I grew up together on Birchwood in Wilmette. We were like sisters in grade school, only she was very short and I was very tall. In grade school we spent many days wandering Wilmette; the beach, climbing trees, having Kool-aide stands to make money so we could take the Wil-Bus to Old Orchard and babysitting. We attended NTE together, and then after New Trier Janie married Jay Oliver, a NTE classmate, and had 2 daughters. Janie died in her early 50's from complications after hip surgery while visiting her daughters in Seattle, WA. Many fun times and great memories.
