Jan's Story
Life
I taught elementary school for 11 years after college.
I was drawn to the west and Colorado after having skied there and camped there in the summers.
Moved to Vail Colorado in 1979 and by 1992 had been a bus driver, supervisor and finally acting Transit Manager.
City of Durango was looking for a transit manager in 1992 and they hired me. They gave me 3 years to make a system that would work for the public and the city.
I retired from the City of Durango in July 2003 and have been traveling around the US in an RV ever since. Have visited over 40 states in the last 2 years and have found wonderful people out there on the road.
Have a small piece of land in New Mexico which has hook-ups for the RV, and is now for sale.
In the summer of 2007 bought a house in the White Mountains of Arizona. So now stay there in the summers and travel the country in the RV during the winter months.
College
After high school graduation, I went to SCS...Expand for more
C from 1965-1969. I majored in PE and got a bachelor's degree in Education. While I was teaching I went to Southern again at night and summers to complete my master's by 1973.
While teaching I completed more classes but quit before I finished another degree.
I have taken classes from Colorado Mountain College while at Vail. They were, shall we say, in the recreational area. Not underwater basket weaving but close. How to wax x-country skis for all weather conditions. Tennis and the like.
Workplace
I taught elementary PE in Connecticut following graduation from SCSC. I got my masters from Southern and continued to teach until 1979.
I moved to Vail Colorado and got involved with public mass transit. First as a driver, then a supervisor and finally as the transit manager.
When Durango CO needed a transit manager I moved there and built their transit system until my retirement in 2003.
No current paying job but comfortable none the less...
