Jane lived her life as she wanted

From the NYT obits, Wednesday July 1, 2015:

"HEIDT--Jane, age 72, died June 29th in New York City after a brief illness. Jane is survived by Marty W., her devoted husband of 48 years, son and daughter-in-law Harold and Maria W., daughter and son-in-law, Joan and David P., and three grandchildren. Jane attended Hunter College High School, Vassar College, and Columbia University, where, as a graduate student in sociology, she met Marty. Jane was a working mother before it was fashionable to be one; she had a long and successful career as a developer and evaluator of social programs primarily for underserved populations, with long stints at the Fund for the City of New York and Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound. Jane was a fiercely intelligent woman who lived her life as she wanted: immersed in her work, her family, and her very close friends."

Also Harold Feinstein, a celebrated photographer from Coney Island, who died on June 20 at his home in Merrimac, Mass. He was 84. He said:

"The thing is that pictures are everywhere. The question is what we don't see, and why don't we see so much. I just see it."
