jean's Story
Hello Old Friends,
In brief: Grew up in Denver, CO; went to Stevens Elementary School, Gove Jr. High and East High class of 1941. Moved to Washington, D.C. in 1945; Graduated from Georgetown School of Foreign Service in 1949; married wonderful Bob Young in 1950; have 4 "perfect" children, 9 grand children and 3 beautiful great grandchildren.
I was a legal secretary before staying home to raise our children. Did lots of volunteer work in the anti-poverty and civil rights movements. Co-founded (and named) ALIVE! - an ecumenical group of over 40 faith congregations, still very much alive today serving Loved every minute of it.
We moved from Alexandria, VA to the beautiful M...Expand for more
adawaska River Valley in rural Ontario, Canada in 1982. Now I can't imagine living anywhere else. Bob describes it as "a clearing in the forest" on this hilltop with a great view. One daughter and her husband live next door. Miracle!
Genealogy caught my attention and I became "hooked," spending untold hours writing "Our Walden and Related Families" and now about to finish "Our Irish Roots." (Only one so-called skeleton found.)
Mine has been a long life, now filled with appreciation for it all, beginning with very special parents and siblings, good friends, supportive faith communities and my husband who is my best friend, confident, support, rock.
Peace!
