Obituaries Posted December 1, 1999 Janet Herrera Retired campus telephone operator Janet Herrera passed away Nov. 9, after a battle with cancer. A long time UC staff member, Janet began working at the university in 1964, and from 1971 to her retirement at the end of 1996, worked at Telecommunication Services (now Communication & Network Services) as one of the "voices of Berkeley". Herrera is remembered by many for her cheerful voice and encyclopedic knowledge of the campus. In a letter, one employee wrote of Herrera, "whenever (she) answers, I smile to myself -- here's a gal who obviously enjoys her job, does it well and communicates her pride and positive attitude."   [HOME]   [SEARCH]   [ARCHIVE] December 1, 1999 - January 11, 2000 (Volume 28, Number 16) Copyright 1999, The Regents of the University of California.
