About Me
Michael Smith are still married. We moved to Alaska in 1982. We have a home fellowship that meets once a week. In addition, I am involved with a small worship dance fellowship that meets weekly. Besides dancing we pray, fellowship and study the Word.
Michael and I are both Realtors and have our own property management business called JEMS Real Estate (acronym for Jo Ellen and Michael Smith) which we've been operating for the past 5 1/2 years. In addition to property management we also do real estate sales and leasing.
Our three children Nathan, Jason and Karli are all grown and out of the house now. Nathan is now 32 and is a computer networker. He is married to a great gal and lives in North Canton OH. They have our only grandchild, Ava Grace who is 4 years old. She's adorable and has a head full of curls much like Nathan when he was little.
Jason is an electrical engineer, and works at the national lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Currently his job is paying for him to get his masters degree at University of Missouri at Columbia MO. He loves God and is involved with the Chi Alpha campus fellowship there. He's still single and I'm praying for a help mate for him.
Our daughter Karli is 23 and living and working in the Pheonix, AZ area. I know I'm prejudiced, but I think she's one of the sweetest and kindest people I know.
My Interests
My interests include worship dance, Bible fellowship and real estate investing.

How are you guys? Ya know, we actually lived in Wasilla back in 2002/03? We went up there to manage a dog boarding kennel off of the Parks Highway by the old Dead Dog Saloon, almost to Big Lake. But that only lasted a year, and we moved back to Haines where our house was/is. But we have since moved to Juneau, and have been here since 2005. We still own our Haines house which we plan to sell, and are looking to buy here, maybe. Sound real sure of what we want to do eh? Hah!
While in Wasilla, I do believe I remember talking to Steve Lowder, but he was moving or had moved south somewhere. Maybe I'd connected with him on the internet, I can't remember. I can't remember why in the world we didn't try and hook up with you guys (or did we?-"brain cloud'), but anyway, here we is. Still Alaskans, but down here in the rain and by the cold green sea. But I do love being close to the sea, and I am glad it's not the opaque Cook Inlet with all of the glacial silt and that. No moose here, but plenty of deer to put in the freezer, and the fresh salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab is awesome. Our daughter, Meagan, now 23 is an Oiler/Junior Engineer on one of the State Ferries. In fact, she has the exact same job I used to have on the M/V Matanuska, and even lives in the same crew quarters that I lived in for three years! Amazing that she wanted to become a marine engineer like her Dad. My of my how interesting life can be! The rest of the kids (the boys) are fine too. And so, thanks for the note Jo Ellen, and tell Mike I said howdee do!

My heart leaped when I saw you guys here. Do you remember me, we were just very close such a long time ago but with age comes loss of memory so I am just checking. If you do remember me I will write more later. If not then I guess I will just have to go somewhere and have a good cry. Love the pictures. You all look the same and I love that grin on Michaels face. Love you, drop me a line.

It's great to hear from you and know that you and your family are doing well. Say hi to Mike for us.
God bless you,
Mimi
Wonderful to see you and Mike and your family. It must be hard to have your kids so far away. Do you get to the states often?
I have to ask how you sell houses the half a year it's dark there? I was always told never to buy a car in the dark.
Glad you came on board and send my love to Mike. Danny and I joined a Methodist church a few years back and are amazed at how much we still are learning.
Please keep in touch. My email: pbrewyet@yahoo.com. Danny's is 2slickduck@cox.net. He wanted me to add that for him.
Love Ya! Patti
Bo and Stanley stopped by a few weeks ago I asked if he knew how to get yall and here you are.
Patti and I are still here in BR our home.
I will have to post a few more pictures.
Mike looks happy being a granddad.
Red hair and all.
I remember babysitting Nathan in Baton Rouge, he surely can't be 32 years old. Say hi to Mike for me. Hope you're staying warm in Alaska!
love, Karie (Tourne') Masterson
When I read about your children I so remember Nathan and his beautiful curls. Skip and I live in CA. Our 4 children are grown. 3 are married and we are grandparents of triplets 2 boys and a girl 3 years.
I have such great memories of our times and Nathan.
Love to Mike
God Bless

It was quite a time in our lives. I have met Michael but have not met you before. I look forward to doing so one day. Glad you are doing well. Love to your family.
