Maplewood resident, Dr. Jane Aronson named as one of Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year

Here's a blurb from the AP Article:

One of the evening's most emotional moments was the award to pediatrician Jane Aronson, who works to better the lives of orphans overseas and founded the Worldwide Orphans Foundation. She was in tears after Couric introduced her, even more so when surprised onstage by a group of her "kids," children from foreign countries, now adopted by American families.

"You know I've never had a surprise party," she said. "Until tonight."
