During the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s as members of the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA), Janet and Ray, along with their daughters and sons traveled throughout the western United States and Canada working some of the largest PRCA rodeos in both countries. 

During the summer of 1997, she and Ray spent several months RVing and sightseeing throughout Canada and Alaska. For several years Jan was a member of The United Stated Coast Guard Auxiliary, patrolling Flaming Gorge Reservoir with other volunteers of the auxiliary. During these travel opportunities and experiences, many everlasting friendships and memories were made that she will forever cherish.
