Cathy Clayton sent this to me and requested that I send this to the listserves:
To all those who knew Janie Olyphant and have expressed an interest in learning more about her, the St. Paul Pioneer Press had a lovey obituary in today's (Nov 16th) edition. An obiturary is planned for the Star Tribune as well, but I do not know when it will appear. Murray is still working on it. Janie was an "old-timer" in the bird-banding world and had many great accomplishments, not the least being a record of some 84,000 banding records to her name. A memorial service will be held on Monday, November 28 at the White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in Mahtomedi at 2 PM. I am ever grateful to have been able to call her a dear friend.
