Janine's Story
Life
Married to my high school sweetheart (1979) since 1987. We have one daughter born in 1993 who graduated as a Railroader in 2011! Had a great experience a few years back parents were invited to attend SHS with their child. It was fun going back. I even brought my violin and played second chair along side my daughter (she wouldn't give up the first chair to mom even though it was mine first) Some of the faces that day were the same; only they were no longer students, they were now teachers and office staff.
My husband and I own the house I grew up in and I worked at the Sparks Justice Court from Jan 1988 to Feb 2017 when I retired. When I began working at the court in 1988 it was located on the corner of Pyramid and 'B' Street. It is now the Sparks Heritage Museum. From Feb 1992 to January 2013 the court was located in...Expand for more
the old Sprouse-Ritz in the Greenbrae Shopping Center. I'm happy to say that relocating the court to new digs was one of the most stressful but exciting projects I've ever had on my plate. I saw familiar faces come through on occaion, some former classmates, some former teachers...but I won't name names. It's actually surprising how many SHS grads work for law enforcement (police officers, sheriff's deputies, attorneys etc). Shows what a great high school we all went to!
I enjoy taking vacations with my family, especially if it involves a new cave, tide pool, antique stores or somewhere I've never been before. I retired in February 2017 and have been enjoying my 'free' time. I look forward to traveling more in 2018. At some point, should boredom hit, I plan on finding a dog rescue organization to volunteer my time.
