I was flying to Hawaii in the mid 1980s, I had a 5 hour layover at LAX. Jan and Debbie were living in LA at the time, they picked me up from the airport and proceeded to give me the grand sightseeing tour, (Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, etc.). It was without a doubt the best layover ever. Lots of great memories and fun times as always with the Bussell girls. RIP Jan, you will be missed.
