Janis sent me this in 2003. I'm leaving it up because it is just her ... and that's the personality we remember. Hi to all of you Russell Wildcats! 

For the past eight years, I have lived in Duluth, GA. My daughter Debbie and I own and operate a company called "Gypsy Traders." It is a very unique retail sales corporation and we enjoy working together.

A friend and I are in the process of writing a cook book that we hope to have published. I love to cook and she and I have some wonderful recipes. It is a work in progress and we look forward to seeing it offered on Amazon.com someday. When we succeed, buy it! You won't be sorry.

I am single and I suppose it is a good thing at this time. There are not enough hours in a day to do all I want to do. Life is good. I hope yours is also. I have such wonderful memories of Russell High School. I look forward to seeing many of you again. 

Sincerely, 
Janis Higgins Doty
