Summary
Jean Wogan participated in the January 26, 1962 youth-club sleigh ride and was reported to have broken a small bone in her left hand after a fall.
Evidence and limits
The notice supplies no medical record, parentage, or fuller identity. A girl of the same given name and surname spelling, tracked by Beacon school honor rolls as “Jean Wojan” in grade 4 (1959) through grade 5 (1960), and later as “Jeanne Wojan”/“Jeanne Wogan” through her 1967 senior year and wedding, is age-consistent with this sleigh-ride participant — she would have been roughly grade 6-7 in early 1962. No held source states this directly, and the sleigh-ride notice does not name her parents, so this record is kept separate from Jeanne Marie Gillespie rather than merged, with the possible link noted as an open question.
Open questions
- Is this the same girl documented from 1958 to 1967 as Jean/Jeanne Wojan/Wogan, daughter of Walter and Vera Wojan, at Jeanne Marie Gillespie?
