Jane, I think you are a great, no nonsense, kick ass woman, that many of us women hold the standard by. You are a real hard worker, and you’re always pitching in. Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely Dawn MacWhinnie, NEW YORK
I love the Alaska: The Last Frontier series, and have watched it from the beginning. I have been to Alaska twice and am obsessed with the state. I think you are the most capable, super-strong woman. Jane, you are my favorite family member! As a University of Texas graduate, I was interested to learn that you had also attended (graduated?) there. How did that happen? Just curious because of your commercial fishing background: what did you study at UT?
Wishing you all the best!
