You guys are really fortunate to have Janet come and speak. I have known, not known her, who she was and is for thirty years. I first met her in 1986 the year after I bumped her from third off the board in the shore bluefish category in the derby. My friend Larry, who worked at an auto parts store in Vineyard Haven and I parked on the wharf in Edgartown and we walked onto the dock to see how the wharf rats were doing. My buddy Larry set me up perfectly. He knew Janet from the store he worked at. So he and I walk up to Janet, who was fishing hardas usual, and he says hello to Janet. Then Larry says to Janet, "this is my buddy Frank who knocked you out of third off the board the last day of the derby last year", and without missing a beat she said, "your the %$%$%$%$%$%$%$". Well since then she always had/has time to chat with me or anyone else who spoke to her. She wont tell you her spots, but she will tell you if your pants are on fire, I think.
