After 5 years and 200+ stories . . .

            This month marks the five year anniversary of Jan’s Corner.  In those five years, I’ve been pleased and privileged to share with you more than 200 of the most interesting people in KMAland. But it is time to close Jan’s Corner.

            As I say farewell and “see you later!” I am grateful to the many faithful readers of Jan’s Corner at kmaland.com and to the many listeners of the on-air version. Thank you for your interest, your support, your suggestions, and your encouragement. A special thank you to everyone who opened your homes and lives to me. Thank you for sharing your stories in Jan’s Corner.

            I say farewell not because of lack of interest, but because life does not stagnate. We all have to move forward.  My teaching responsibilities at Iowa Western Community College in Clarinda and Shenandoah have increased and my professional photography business, Renander Photos, is growing also. I need to devote my time and talents to these endeavors.

            On that note, I will say again, “Thank you” and “Farewell for now.” Photography continues to be a huge part of my life and I’m sure you’ll see my work at kmaland.com in the future and you never know where you will see me, camera in hand.

            Thank you kmaland for sharing your lives with me. Farewell, for now!

            Jan Castle Renander
