College
I transferred to SPC (as it was then) from Seattle Central Community college. My maiden name was Jan Page. I planned to become a teacher, but found out while in the first phase of the education program that it wasn't the program for me, because I wasn't motivated enough to work hard and succeed. I regret now that I didn't just apply myself more and stick it out. But God helps us, even when we don't work as hard as we should.
I did get a BA in Communication (Speech), which was quite an accomplishment in itself. I liked a lot of my instructors, but my very favorite one was William "Doc" Hansen.

We have no children, but we have a very happy 20 year marriage, because we both love the Lord, and we love each other very much. He is an Industrial Hygienist at the Shipyard in Bremerton, where we live. I am active in Bible Study Fellowship, and we are also active in our church. We are also active members of TOPS.
I wish I could get in touch with some of my classmates and other friends I had while at SPU. I have the directory that came out a few years ago, but hesitate to bug people. If you want to reach me, I am in that directory, or you can reach me through Classmates.com. I would love to hear from you. May God bless you and keep you, or draw you, close to Himself.
