After a couple decades the family relocated to Yakima and Charlie went into teaching and counseling.

Jane’s work is featured in many local homes and businesses. She designed one of the annual Apple Blossom Festival posters, as well as many other commissioned projects.

Jane and Charlie travelled around the world, visiting their son Kip in Paris, New York, San Francisco and (their favorite destination) Hawaii.

Both Jane and Charlie volunteered with numerous local civic organizations, focused primarily on assistance for at-risk-youth. They were co-founders of this area’s AIDS Alliance, which has raised money for education, awareness, and research.

Highlights of their decades together included meeting their precious grandchildren, enjoying Jane’s tremendous artistic talents, and spreading their special happiness among the dear friends.
