   To the family of Jane Tiren I share in your grief but rejoice in having known Jane Tiren. I worked with her at Scott AFB. She was a wonderful person.

   My sympathy to the family. I didn’t know Jane, but a BIG SPOON PLAYER was the drummer of a band. Youtube has a lot of videos showing the talent involved.
