Jane's Story
Life
I lived down south for 25 years and recently moved back to Illinois. I married a hometown guy in November , 2004 after a divorce of a 29 year marriage. I have 2 son's one, 37 and the other 32, a daughter, 30, 2 twin stepson's that are 27 and 3 beautiful grandchildren, Caleb,5,Kallie 4 and Kaylynn 2. I have a home in Abingdon, IL. I was working on the road as a Purchasing Manager for a Construction Company but have come home to stay as of the first of Oct. I loved my job but my family is more important. I will eventually find something closer to home. For now, I am enjoying my husband and grandchildren. I am in the process of opening a resturant in Abingdon on Main Street. It was the Friendly Cafe for many years and we are going to keep the name. The resturant opened on Feb 10th and so far so good. I am seeing a lot of old faces, its really alot of fun...Expand for more
. If ever in Abingdon..Stop By !!
School
Not really sure what year it was, I was either a junior or senior. This was when we were having racial fights...the hall in front of the cafeteria, that we used to call "boot hall" (I wonder if they still call it that?)was lined up with the white guys all wearing white shirts, the black guys all wearing black shirts. Myself and Quitzan Crouch was headed to home-ec and somone yelled "GO" well me and Quitzan was in the middle of it all, we hit the floor trying to get out of there when Al Villarrero picked us up and put us on the shelf that held books next to the cafeteria, just in time to see Steve Clapp clobber the principal with his elbow as he reared back to punch someone else.....I will never forget that morning...good stuff...good memories
