MEMBER OF THE MONTH
DECEMBER, 2014
JAN HAWKE
I was born in 1958 in Plymouth, Devon to the best parents in the world who are still thankfully with us…(in spirit, in my father’s case) who went on to present me with three more sisters. We weren’t too well off to start with, but my father was a talented sign-writer and maker and ended up with his own successful business. We grew up surrounded by paint and paper and so we all loved to draw and make things. We were all pretty good at it. I used to draw for my younger sisters: characters from games we used to play and cowboys and horses were popular themes, as well (we inherited Dad’s Wild West fixation). Our childhood was pretty stable and though we all got into the usual childhood scrapes, the error of our ways were gently pointed out to us. We were taught that treating others as you would like to be treated yourself was the sensible way to be happy in life. It still works, too, Mum and Dad, so thank you more than I can express.
Jan is the author of Milele Safari: An Eternal Journey and she also loves writing poetry.
