Jan was a state finalist in the Illinois Miss United Teenager Pageant.
She did the required community service hours for the pageant by doing volunteer work for Easter Seals. She participated in a fund raising fair and she also raised funds for them while participating in a dance marathon. She volunteered over the minimum required hours both years.
She was a finalist in the pageant in 1977 and 1988. She received the Miss Congeniality award in 1988.
It was a fun experience for her and she met lots of nice people. Her scrapbook had been packed away for years. Her older sons didn’t remember seeing it when they were little and her daughters never saw the scrapbook till 2006. Everyone thought it was pretty cool, but they couldn’t help but laugh at the hair styles!!
