Jana's Story

Life does throw you curves! Graduated from Texas Tech Med School in '87 and went to Little Rock, Ark. to do my residency in Psychiatry (4 years) and expected to return to Texas after finishing my Residency but 4 years turned in to 20 before I moved back to Texas a year ago (Tyler) with my husband and our 5 year old son (YES! 5 year old SON!!). I had a great career at the Central Arkansas Veterans' Medical Center in the Mental Health Clinic, specializing in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Psychiatric consequences of HIV before I was forced to retire in 2002 due to medical problems. In 2003 I went from Dr. Miller-Turner to "Mommy" for the first time! My husband and I have a handsome, strong-willed son named Clark. I am now a stay at home Mom and still adjusting to the change! I love my life, but sure didn't plan anything like this! We moved to Tyler last year because my brother, Mike and sister, Alisa live here with their families and Clark needed to grow up with family around. It was a difficult decision, but the right one. Loving being back in Texas!!! The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Suzy Gaines, because she died in 10/96 and there has been sooo much that has happended that I wish I could have shared with her, but can't. She would LOVE knowing I dumped my ex, Paul (sleep medicine specialist) after our last reunion!! She would be thrilled to be an "Aunt" to my 5 year old son, Clark and would have loved my current (last one!) husband, John. He is so kind, considerate and handsome, too! Here's to you, Suz..... . 10/13/08: Just returned fro...Expand for more
m our 30th Reunion & would like to thank everyone who showed up. I had a great time visiting w/ everyone (and trying to guess who some of the guys were!!). Some of the guys looked better as distinguished 48 year olds than they did in AHS! You know who you are!! (Tracey D., Glen S., Kenny M., etc.). Big thanks to Mike Long, Sharon Roland, Teresa Langan, Mikea Newman, Bob Pemberton (& wife), Paul Gomez (the man w/no hair, but a big camera!), Penni Young, Judy R., as well as Gary "WHO??" Evans and the whole Tennis Gang! Looking forward to the next reunion and hope some of the folks who always skip out on the reunions will break down and come in 2018!!! (i.e. John Ritter....does anyone know where he is & how he is? Greg Reece & Andrew Jerige??). Again, thanks to all the people who put this year's reunion together. Good job!! 7/22/09 Just returned from a 3-week vacation through Santa Fe, Estes Park, CO, Yellowstone Nat'l Park, Wyoming, Mt. Rushmore & the Badlands Nat'l Park in SW South Dakota. Too tired to breathe when we got back to Tyler, but had a great time! Spent a week in Estes Park, CO w/ my Mom and Dad, sister, Lisa (and her family), brother Stuart's 15 y/o son, Mason (amazing kid! Went to State as a Freshman in Orchestra (VIOLIN) and will be a member of "Revolution" this coming year -as a Soph) AND Stuart's 9 y/o daughter, Sarah. Oh- and my husband, John and our 6 y/o son, Clark. John fly-fished EVERYDAY! Mason and I hiked through the Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park. Mom, Lisa and I did the obligatory shopping, etc. Awesome time!! I'll try to post some photos later...
