CLASS UPDATES: 1960'S Janice “Jan” (Edwards) Korver ’62 resides in Sioux City. Jan says: “My husband, David, an optometrist, and I are both retired in Sioux City. We had 4 children, 14 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Our children are an educator, Otorhinolaryngologist- head and neck surgeon, Chiropractor, and a Christian Director of Worship (a former Miss South Dakota). Our grandchildren (have 8 over age 21) include 2 Optometrists, a Christian Therapist, 3 small business owners, an educator, and an attorney that works for Governor Kim Reynolds! We have 2 high schoolers, a middle schooler, and 3 in elementary school. I taught school and taught our children the importance of Education. I so enjoyed my years at Waldorf and therefore get an education then you can be anything the Lord has for you! I loved Dr. Jacob Tanner and I knew being a Christian was the most important job I wanted to succeed at and any more than that was a bonus. So, at age 78 I have been so blessed! Hello to all that remember me! God meant for us to journey together those two years between 1960 and 1962.” Jan’s email address is jankorver@yahoo.com.

There seem to be endless opportunities to serve the Lord right on my street with neighbors. God is giving me new hope to look for ways to build bridges of love and friendship.
