Artist Jane Haskell's talent always exceeds her space
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
...If until now there was a glass ceiling in the corporate world, there was an equally implacable one in the world of art. Which brings me to my subject, the fiercely talented Jane Haskell, whose Light Construction I, a magical concoction of canvas and red neon, was recently acquired by the Carnegie Museum of Art.
The wall label will probably read “Jane Haskell, American, b.1923.” Read more

Parker City, Ind.
Family and friends of Jenny Haskell said their final goodbyes at her funeral in Parker City Friday.
The 22-year-old Ball State University Senior was injured in the State Fair stage collapse nearly two weeks ago. This week, she was removed from life support. Her service was held at her Monroe Central High School's gymnasium and attended by hundreds. Her family wanted it to be a celebration of her life.A group of her friends wore cargo pants, black button up shirts, and colorful ties in honor of Haskell and what she stood for."Jenny was a very proud person. She was proud of who she was and personally she was really inspiring to me," said her friend Stephanie Rion. "It was an honor really to know her. Just to be a part of her life."
Haskell's high school softball coach Andrea Cope added to that sentiment."She has touched so many of us with her passion for life, teaching us to never give up on your friends and that anything is possible."
Ball State University president Jo Ann Gora also attended and described Haskell as the kind of student the university hopes for."She was certainly a bright and accomplished student," said Gora. "But she was also dedicated and reliable and diligent."Several people wiped away tears as the song Amazing Grace was played during the service. Haskell's high school classmate Randall Jones said her death was not just a loss for her family, but for the entire community."I just feel like we've lost a piece of ourselves," said Jones. "Graduating with a class of 53 students, it was hard not to love and be close to everybody. I grew up with these people. They're my family."After the service, a long procession followed Haskell's hearse to Muncie where she was buried.

Ken Haskell is a second-generation New York City firefighter and an expert in rescue techniques. Haskell lost two brothers - also firefighters- in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
Ken Haskell:
'I Was Looking For My Two Brothers.'
September 7, 2011
Ken Haskell, a second-generation firefighter, was off-duty and planning to work on some home reconstruction projects on Sept. 11, 2001. His brothers Timmy and Tom, also New York City firefighters, were both working that day. Both Timmy and Tom went to the World Trade Center and died when the towers collapsed.
Ken arrived at Ground Zero shortly after the North and South towers fell. He spent the next two months working at the Ground Zero site, sifting through the rubble and trying to find the remains of people who had been trapped in the towers. His brother Tim's body was recovered while Ken was on-site; Tom's body has never been found.
Haskell's memories of Sept. 11 are collected in Dennis Smith's A Decade of Hope: Stories of Grief and Endurance from 9/11 Families and Friends. Haskell, along with Smith and New York City Fire Department battalion chief Jay Jonas, who was inside the North Tower when it collapsed, join Fresh Air's Terry Gross for a discussion about their memories of Sept. 11, and how their lives have changed since the terrorist attacks.
"I was in a unique position knowing that I was looking for my two brothers in addition to doing all of the responsibilities I had as a firefighter," he says.

Well-wishers throw leeks to mark end of firefighters' epic Atlantic row
TWO Welsh firefighters have spoken of their emotional reunion with friends and family after rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic.
John Haskell and Jamie Windsor battled exhaustion, salt sores and 20ft waves in a rowing boat from the Canaries to Barbados.
The dynamic duo, from South Wales, were greeted by scores of well-wishers throwing leeks after an almost record-breaking 45 days, 19 hours and 21 minutes.
They came fourth in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge and are hoping to raise £100,000 for Breast Cancer Care, Help for Heroes, WRVS and the Fire Service Fund.
Mr Haskell, 44, said of the challenge: “We’re both grown men, we’re both firefighters and we’ve done some pretty extreme stuff but the pair of us were terrified and we could see it in each others’ eyes...Read More
