Jeane was an extremely nice person. I had many nice conversations with her and she even gave me a ride to the AEI annual dinner on occasion. It is hard to think of a nicer person.

I'm not surprised to hear that she was a very nice person.
She was also an extraordinarily astute and courageous person, unafraid to stake out and defend positions that guaranteed she'd draw flack.
She was inspirational in her time, and will remain so. History will be kind to her.
