Janet “Jan” Klockers Boutilier asked a logical question: “How did this just happen to fall into my lap?”
At the same time, she also seems like the perfect person to solve the mystery of the missing class of 1899. The 1968 PTHS graduate was a Port Townsend School District employee from 1986-2021, 33 of those years at the high school, 27 of which were as secretary of the principal.
“I have loved Nancy Drew since I was a kid, and fancied myself as a sleuth many a time over the years while trying to solve some mystery-type of situation,” said Boutilier. She said that “What would Nancy do?” still goes through her head.
Several years ago her friends hosted a Nancy Drew-themed surprise birthday party for her, complete with a mystery to solve. “And my office aides at the high school got a taste of mystery, too, as many a routine chore ended up being a ‘secret mission’ or ‘special assignment’ by my secret agents.”
Boutilier admits to a larger goal: “Anything to bring some fun to the workload!”
