Jane Cammin:  

Life One son and one ex-husband. Longer bio in the profile section. At least there was - it seems to have disappeared... so.... Life potholes... back in Saginaw... After DMHS, went to Kansas and received AA in Business Administration from small, private college. Returned to Michigan and got BA in Business Admin from Spring Arbor University (near Jackson). Traveled to Colorado to visit friends and job hunt. Recruiter said he would feed me, clothe me, and pay off my college loans, so enlisted in the U.S. Army. Served in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, California (one year), and Seoul, Korea (two years). Upon discharge, joined the Michigan Army National Guard - was in the Midland unit for almost four years. Went back to school using my VA education benefits to complete requirements for teaching certification. Taught in Vanderbilt, Michigan - high school and adult ed business -for two years, and then got tired of the long winters! Moved to Kansas, where I was out of education for 14 years - worked in human resources for 8 years, as well as several other positions - secretarial, customer service, and banking. Went back into teaching three years ago - high school special ed, primarily with students with learning disabilities. The schedule really works well with my son, who is now in middle school. He was still in elementary school when the teaching opportunity was presented. It is so nice to be on the same schedule! Working in the business community, there is little flexibility for time off at spring break, during Christmas vacation, and in the summer months. He has two half-sisters (my step-daughters), who are 22 and 24. One is a senior in college, and the other is a para at an elementary school. She has a son, who is 4, so I am actually a step-grandma, too! My son's dad and I were divorced nearly five years ago, however, the girls have remained close, so I still call them my step-daughters. Sorry, this was longer than I anticipated. FYI - The folks (John & Myrna Cammin) and my brother are all still in Saginaw. We visited last summer for nearly a month, and we're looking forward to visiting again this summer. School Even though I had fun in high school, since I am currently a high school teacher, I would not want to go back to high school today! Kim (Pesta) Butler and I had fun dressing up during Homecoming Week, and being in drama productions with Bethany Wright and Nancy Harmon. (Bless her, Nancy had a tough time with driver's ed. The teacher knew we were friends, so he thought she would be less nervous if I was the other passenger for the highway driving. Cannot even describe it - not good...) When Nancy died during our senior year, that was especially difficult. Carnations for Valentine's Day was always fun, especially from "Mrs. Williams Cute Freshman" my senior year! (Thank you, Chuck Frink!) Breakfast at my house after prom, when my mom and dad made speciality waffles for numerous couples, was another highlight. It was always somewhat odd, because my parents were teachers in the school system. (That was also why I RARELY skipped school! Got caught once - that was enough! Thanks, Mike Humphreys!) The folks dropped in at our 10th and 20th reunions, and it was neat to see the number of students who were pleased to see them. At our 10th reunion, Mom took essay...Expand for more
