Janice's knowledge of the South Bay was legend. Rick Coleman, when he was manager of the refuge, never had to look up pond acreages when he needed them in a hurry -he could just turn to Janice who would give him the answer, correct to the nearest one tenth of a square foot! When she might not have information available immediately, she would refer to her files. We all have files, but Janice could find things, given "a couple of minutes"!
I really wish I could be there for the dedication of Janice's bench, a permanent reminder to all that venture up the refuge hill that one person can really make a difference in our natural and public world. Janice did just that with a passion and positive attitude that inspired refuge managers and staff, volunteers and citizen activists. From this hill top, you can see wetlands in every direction that Janice helped to protect, forever!
Janice Delfino was a pleasure to work with since she was always smiling, respectful, and very earnest about her San Francisco Bay environmental projects. She was heard at many meetings over the years making a strong case to save vital habitats. She has left behind a wonderful legacy and will be sorely missed.
