Jon moved to a farm near Emporia, Kansas. He married Lindy and graduated college at Emporia State. They moved to California after graduation and had three children, two boys and a girl. Jon worked for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as an aeronautical engineer and program manager. They moved for NASA to Ohio, Virginia and finally Washington, DC and he retired in 1993. Lindy had developed Multiple Sceloris and was no longer able to get around. They purchased an RV and traveled the US visiting their children and two grandchildren. In their travels, they made it to Alaska for the first time in 1993. Except for two years when Lindy was hospitalized, they made the trip to Alaska for the summer until 2005 when she passed away.
Jon has driven the Alaska-Canadian highways twenty times over the past fourteen years and knows all the routes to make your trip easier. Most importantly, he knows all the sights to see and when to see them. To see an example of their trip to Alaska and returning in 2007, visit 'Trip to Alaska' and 'Trip from Alaska'. |
