Virginia “Ginny” Sara Jordan died on March 28, 2022. Ginny was a woman of many accomplishments. She was a Phi Beta Kappa Radcliffe graduate with a master’s in applied math, and a programmer and tech expert who held instrumental roles at EG&G, NEC, and Polaroid. She was a long-time Belmont Town Meeting member, and she rallied her neighbors to found the nonprofit Friends of the Benton Library, which now operates the facility and is supported entirely by donations. But here at the Belmont Citizens Forum, we remember Ginny because she served on the BCF Newsletter Committee.
Ginny was a painstaking, exacting editor. She spotted inconsistencies, added information from her vast knowledge of environmental topics, and sometimes suggested that entire articles be rewritten. She made more work for me, and she was always right.
We all miss Ginny tremendously.
