There were several photos of the second Mrs. Pierce, Janet as a somersaulting high school cheerleader, competing in water ballet in college, as a graduating senior at the University of California at Northridge. Always attractive, her beauty increased with time as she matured from a plump-cheeked girl to an elegant and sophisticated woman. In several of the pictures, before the death of Lynn Pierce, she stood in the background at business gatherings, attentive and interested, blond hair upswept, small gold earrings, black suit and pumps.

JANET MURRAY PIERCE, 46, born in Long Beach, California, father James a high school physics teacher, mother Stella Fowler Murray an oil company secretary. Middle of three daughters. Always the prettiest girl in her class. Serious. Excellent grades. College scholarship, majored in business. Her first job out of college was with Almerol. She devoted herself totally to the company. Or, as one friend observed, “She caught Dave’s attention early. She was quick, bright and worked her guts out. She put in a lot of twelve-to fourteen-hour days.” By the time the company moved to Atlanta, Janet was vice president of operations. She often came to the Pierce home at Broward’s Rock for gatherings combining business and social events. The administrative secretary tried to be nice: “Really, they’re quite a match. Man machine, woman machine. She’s still involved in running the company, though she stays on the island now and tries to do the Mrs. Dave Pierce bit. Everybody always knew she was nuts about him, but he never tumbled to it. You have to give her credit for that. Of course, I knew he was a goner after the first wife died. He never could have survived without Janet. I suppose they’re happy enough. But he used to whistle a lot when his first wife was alive. I haven’t heard him whistle in years.”
