What you might not know about her!

I'm not sure many of you know the full story about Jan. It seems that all the talk has been about my football playing days. I wanted to share more things about her because some of her accomplishments are more than remarkable. This new picture was taken I think sometime during her junior year, 1965. This is the picture that I kept in my dorm room at Tech to remind me that I was engaged. You can see why I went home every chance I got. Additionally, I think that Jan was the first and maybe the only girl from WF that was chosen class beauty for 4 years in a row. I say this because the 9th grade was in high school when we opened Hirschi High School and she was a freshmen beauty as chosen by her classmates. She was a cheerleader her senior year, president of the thespian club, gym leader and she won what was called "The Loyalty Award", and it was the first of it's kind between all schools in WF. The classmates at Hirschi outvoted the other candidates from the other schools and Hirschi was the smallest school. In her senior year the school had a sweetheart contest and guess who was the winner of that? None other than Jan and I came home to escort her to this banquet, and of course this was another first for anyone from Hirschi. One of a kind.

  1. Don, I posted the other night...at least I thought I did, but guess I didn't finish or didn't push the right keys to complete the process. I loved reading about Jan's popularity in high school...not something I was surprised at, because when Jan's there, it was always a party. And her beauty...then and now....is just stunning...love the picture of her from her jr. year.
    You and Jan continue to be in my prayers.....Love you both, Linda L.
