Janelle's Story
Life
After graduation in 1985 I found myself in Lincoln, Nebraska playing NCAA Div. 1 softball for 4 years, pledging Tri-Delt, earning 3 Big Eight Championship rings, and taking 2 trips to the College World Series. After student-teaching in Lincoln, returned to Cali to gain a teaching spot in the AUHSD, coached Cypress HS girls Varsity softball to CIF Championship (beating JFK, hah!) Became the Bride of Igor in 1993! Moved to Santa Monica. Managed folk bands, did a little commercial acting and taught in Malibu (juvenile court schools). Returned to OC in 1997 with my two little girls. Played pro ball with Ladies Professional Baseball, two summers of paid fun! Still pitching in NABA (that's hardball, not softball, and I have a mean curve!) I just bought a house in La Palma with my English mate, Kevin. My girls will have their own rooms. I teach at Gilbert West! English and Drama. Just published my first book titled, O Chaplain! My Chaplain! Man of Service. It's a narrative non-fiction memior about the last li...Expand for more

My two cats are not stars on screen, but they star at home as the coolest Siameses ever. One's a seal point, the other is a blue lynx. We have a goldfish named Jaws. The cats try to drink his water. I'm driving a 1963 convertible Falcon Futura. I run into Scott Burns and Van White all the time at District meetings. In fact, I'm a guest speaker at Mr. White's College Showcase this Thursday at Walker JHS. My girls and I will be volunteering again in Laguna for the Pageant of the Masters. I've been cast as Minerva in Coutan's Transportation and Mikayla is the coachman in Jean Beraud's "Outside the House of Paquin" Our pieces are shown early in act 1. Hurry, it's almost sold out. I'll be at the reunion in July. If I don't see you there, come to Laguna's Festival of the Arts for the Pageant and find me at the stage door. I'll look forward to seeing you there! Wow...20 years...
