About Me
After living in Indiana for several years, I finally convinced Chris that N.C. really was a wonderful place to be. He loved it so much, he brought his mom (Dr. Carolyn Rawlins) down here to live with us. She liked to ask me, "Why did I wait so long?" as she really came to love N.C. Chris and I have one daughter (17). Yep, I am one of those "older" moms but she definitely keeps me young . . . going to rock concerts, riding around with her in her Mustang and going to the horse shows she competes in (as a professional! . . . riding gaited American Saddlebred horses)! She surely did not get that kind of coordination from her parents, HA!
My Interests
Lots and lots of prayer and study!!! Love being a wife and companion to my Chris and a mom to our Amy. Love to cook; love our animals (2 American Saddlebreds, one "rescue" thoroughbred), 2 dogs, 2 cats; and finally finding a little time to devote to knitting (which I love to do also!)
Employment or Career
My oh my, how things change. I still work parttime as a medical transcriptionist but most of my time, thankfully, is in ministry. I was ordained to the Christian ministry in 2015 and have literally been living my life's dream in service. Began working from home as a medical transcriptionist over 20 yrs. ago after having worked as executive secretary/office manager for different companies. Chris has his own estate sales and service business that he absolutely loves.
Music I Like
Don't have a favorite as I really like all music except for, as my daughter calls it, the "scream-o" music.
Television I like
Any and all CSI shows! Chris has coined a phrase for the time we spend watching CSI . . . he says we are doing it to become "CSI-certified!"
Movies I like
Don't know . . . haven't been to one in a long time!

Hi Jan (& Chris) ! Been a long time since Marie and I talked with you . We lived so close to you guys for years, living in the Milwaukee area and never contacted you. We moved to the Austin Tx area 21 years ago, and only recently joined this website. Sure would like to reconnect.
Marie and I have talked about you guys for years and wondered how things were with you.
love to you both! John
Jan Happy New Years, tell Chris I said Howdy it's been a long time. Like 30 years!

Hi Jan! I don't remember Robert. Did he start out with the 10th corps? It's really sad that our brothers and sisters are falling asleep!
I see how you wrote about Dr. Rawlins. I really liked and respected her! I'm so thankful for all that we've been taught!
I trust that you and Chris are doing well!
It's another day closer to the return!!! At least I'll see you guys then!
Much love! Donna
At least we tried to make the best of every situation! Shall we say, we never lost our sense of humor or of the absurd! Remember the graveyard scolding by Richard Thomas?
Tres Strange!
Don't know what took me so long to get on this site - Rob Agsten kept encouraged me for years to join, but quite frankly, I can barely keep up with my personal and business emails!
I was saddened to hear of Carolyn's passing - she was a great lady! She brought my niece Emily Stanford Stinnett into this world and now Emily is expecting her second daughter. Chris knew my brother, David - remember we lived just acrooss the state line in Illinois?
Last week I was talking to Marilyn Shirley on the phone and she was cruizing the way site and filling me in on the news, and so, I finally sat myself down and applied, and I am so glad that I did.
Now I have reconnected with you, Kevin Nye, Jeff Probasco, Rosanne O'Hara, Way Productions etc... Very Cool!
Yes, we did have some fun times, esp. when we were under the radar!!!! It was Spiritual Boot Camp and not always so spiritual! HA!
Love to Chris and to you too.
