Jane Somers was the sister of my brother's wife, Rebecca Rhue. I remember Jane from some visits she and her husband Dr. Jerry Somers, made to our home in Dayton, Ohio. Jane was one of a trio of sisters, all very gracious ladies.
One married an advertising man, he got me a tie, in the 40's, hand painted silk, of the NEW, Mercury Hurricane Outboard Motor, which was painted on that tie. I had one of the motors, and one of the few that had a tie.
Jane married a Doctor, Fort Wayne, Indiana, as I recall. I think he used to be a team physician of the old Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. I remember he had a party for the team each year prior to the season starting. I remember my brother and Becky, his wife went one year.
I don't recall the last time I saw Jane probably at a wedding, niece or nephew.
Why write about Jane Somers, well, for one thing at one time she had something to do with Magic Johnson in Lansing, Michigan, as a teacher or counsellor, and, she lived to be almost 104, and, as my niece, Jane Dooley told me, she drifted off in her sleep.
