This month’s featured writing is from SIG member Jan Mills: Campfires and The Dancehall and the Possum
After a 32-year career as a professor at the University of Oklahoma and Boise State University, Jan retired, took her first memoir writing class at Osher, and opened an account at Ancestry.com. She’s been writing memoirs and researching family history ever since. On any given day, her head is lodged in some decade or century-long past, unless she’s running around Lake Heron Lane tending to the landscape. In 2021, she published Breaking the Shackles of Time: Three Generations of the Wheeler-Faircloth Family.
