Jane was a substitute teacher at Springfield's Grant and Franklin Middle Schools in the 1970s. When I requested her to substitute, she was always willing to help out, even at the last minute. Always pleasant and was very good working with students in many different substitute situations. I will always remember her as one of the best substitute teachers. Otto Fafoglia, Chatham, Ill.
