Janice's Story
Life
After graduation I attended IU-K, transferring to Bloomington campus in 1966. I dropped out in my senior year (1967) to work a year and instead got married to C. David Smith (class of 1964) that year. I was a para-legal, then a court reporter in Kokomo before going back to IUK to finish my degree and go to work in Sales at Penn-Dixie Steel. I then worked for Cabot Corp. where I became Distribution Mgr. for North and South America and then Marketing Mgr. for our Stellite Div. When they sold out, I went to York, PA. as Marketing Mgr. for Teledyne McKay before moving back to Kokomo to start my own marketing consulting and training company, AfterImage Marketing & Communications. I ran that until David and I relocated to New Orleans in 1991. In Louisiana I worked as the Training Director for the State's Legal Aid Services offices, and dabbled in real estate part-time. We moved to Florida in 1995 to care for my parents who had retired here. After a 3 year stint as Manager of Specialty Products Div. of Mark III Industries I became a realtor here in Ocala, FL.

vid and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary this year. I am an avid genealogist and teacher, and administor a family website with about 600 members, as well as organize our nation-wide reunions every other year. I'm a quilt history buff and volunteer in the national quilt documentation events that will eventually put pictures of vintage and antique quilts online with the background and photo of the quilt makers in a national database. I quilt myself, and am active in a quilt guild and a quilt history study group that seeks to learn more about identifying and valuing antique quilts. A free-lance writer, I have had several articles published and have most recently been writing for "Senior Times Magazine." My obsession of the moment is preparing material for writing two family histories to document my mother's family who arrived in America in the late 1600s from Germany and my father's German family who came in 1754. Both families were original pioneer settlers in the frontier area of Washington County, IN. when it was first settled south of the Muscatatuck River.
