Wallis Jacobus (Downer-Joyner)
Life is good.  I retired 13 years ago after 30 years of teaching
school.  I taught young children and enjoyed it immensely.
    Now I volunteer at CHS in the Learn Project.  it's been
interesting to be around teenagers after many years.
    I am also involved with La Pilita Museum which is in the
barrio.
    I live in a historic neighborhood and serve on the board of
our neighborhood association. i have become involved with
historic preservation issues.  I have loved history ever since I
was a child so historic preservation is right up my alley.
    My son Randy Downer is a private investigator with offices in
Tucson and Denver.  His wife Sherry is a lawyer.  They recently
had a daughter Ava who is my first grand child.  
    I have been fortunate to have traveled all over the world and
am always looking forward to my next trip.  
    I get together with friends from high school and miss the
Tucson we all knew in the 50s
