Janice's Story
After graduation I moved to Ogden, Utah and before my son and daughter started school we moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. I lived in Utah until my kids were 16 and 17 and then moved to LasVegas, Nevada. Lived there for 9 years most of the time working with a private detective and security company that worked with the entertainment stars providing security and body guard duties for many entertainers. For many years worked the Jerry Lewis telethons providing security for the entertainers flying in and out of McCarran Airport to be on the show with Jerry Lewis, got to meet many stars of the day. It was an interesting time and many stressful deadlines that finally I had to say Enough! I started looking for a job that did not have so much pressure involved with the day to day work schedule.
Finally, opportunity came knocking and I was able to work in theaters, a job managing movie houses came to me through a friend that was in the business. I went through a managerial course in Lakewood CA with my friend being my mentor and was taught all the ins and outs of managing a theater and again my luck held out and a theater ca...Expand for more
me open in LasVegas not far from where I lived and I was placed into that theater managing a 7 screen house and enjoyed going to work again. I worked in 5 different theaters in my manager days and eventually ended up back in Lakewood CA where I grew up.
The best that happened to me was coming back to California I was able to re-connect with a man I had dated in my high school days and after a year we were married. When Joe, my husband started talking about retiring and moving out of California I suggested we go to Utah where my kids and our grandchildren were and we did. We have lived in Roy, Utah for 5 years now. He loves it here and I feel that I am home again. I missed Utah so much after moving out of the state. I had lived here almost 18 years when I moved to Vegas. Being with my son and daughter again and watching the grandchildren grow up has been a dream come true! Utah was were my children were and coming back here has been great, I missed the slower pace of Utah but more I missed my children.
Being with my grandchildren keeps me busy and working on the genealogy of my family history has been fun .
