Janice's Story
A lot has happened since we scattered in '76. I've been married twice & currently preparing for my 2nd divorce. Guess marriage doesn't agree with me.
I have 2 sons, Derek 18 and Aaron 16, who go to NCHS. The hardest thing I've done is cheer for the Ironmen while Derek has played football. Never did learn their fight song, though. Guess ours is too ingrained in me. LOL! I also have a step-daughter, Tacia 20, who made me a grandmother last year. I just love being able to spoil Jack & then send him home to mom & dad!
I've worked for State Farm for the last 30 years and, for the most part, have been satisfied there. I'm currently working in the Customer Response Center taking loss reports for customers all over the country. Stressful, but good job security in these hard times.
I've also joined the "Cancer Survivors Club". If you can really call it that. I had colo-rectal cancer that was already stage 3 whe...Expand for more
n they found it. Come March 2010 I'll be "cancer free" for 5 years. That is if I passed my CT scan last week & the blood tests don't show any new markers. I'll find out the results Tuesday Nov 3rd.
I hope none of you have had to deal with cancer of any type. Such a horrible thing to go through! The disease, the treatments, the surgeries, and the resulting problems have all contributed to the destruction of my marriage. Neither of us have handled any of it very well. He had a harder time since his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer just 3 weeks after me and we lost him 6 months later.
My biggest regret is not keeping in touch with those of you I hung out with in school. But life moves on & I sincerely hope you have all had wonderful & fulfilled lives!
I missed our last reunion, but hope to make the next one. Until then, if you'd like to chat sometime - send me an email. I promise I will write back!
