Jana's Story
Life
Howdy to all fellow Barons!
I am still living in Sonora after 45 yrs. My son is 42 and on his own, my daughter is 35.
I have been single for 29 years, but I am looking now!
I have ended a 35 yr career as a clinical Registered Veterinary Technician, due to trashing my back from lifting dogs (and the occasional goat, sheep, etc) for all those years. So now I am doing online emergency triage for Veterinary Clinics all across the USA and Canada. I also teach unregistered technicians so they can get licensed here in California. I am licensed in Oregon and California and have been for 28 years.
I have my own small web design and fine art business so if anyone is looking for a reasonably priced website please look me up at indigomoonarts dot com
I can be contacted through my website.
I had a WONDERFUL time at my reunion and look forward to number 50!!
I graduated in April of 2006 with three associate degrees and have a bachelors in Interactive Media Design and Web Design.
Please drop me a line if you are so inclined. I am a gold member once again for a year.
Peace and look forward to seeing you all again!!
HUGSSSSSS

Story Wizard fun:
I always wanted to be a Veterinarian when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were partly wrong.
My Hero was/is my Mom. She was a single mom most of the time she raised us. She worked very hard in a male-dominated career and was the only woman to do what she did at UCLA then UCSD. She tau...Expand for more
ght me that you can do whatever you want in life, regardless of gender. She was courageous, bold, loving, and fun and she passed those qualities on to me and I passed them on to my own beautiful daughter. I miss my Mom every day.
I moved away to Sonora, California when I was almost 22. My Dad was killed in a plane crash two months later and Leonard Zylstra kicked me out three months later but I stayed because it is so beautiful up here.
For those of you that knew him, Leonard Zylstra died in 2001 just before his 50th birthday.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Danny Finck because we were good friends in school and we used to laugh together a lot. We were in contact for many years after high school and I would love to reconnect with him.
HOCKEY hockey and more hockey. I am a die-hard Red Wings fan. YA BABY!!
I never lived in a dorm but I went back to school at the age of 46 after a career-ending injury to my back as a veterinary technician. I became a member of Phi Thera Kappa and served as the Vice President of Communications.
I really enjoyed going back to college after a 31 yr absence except for the math part. I graduated with honors in 2006 with three associate degrees (Art, English, and Liberal Studies) and gave the farewell speech at graduation three weeks after my Mom died. It was very, very hard to do but it was for her. Graduated with my bachelors in Sept of 2010, 4 months after my daughter graduated with hers from Humboldt State.
