About the Founder, Jan Lindgren
Jan Lindgren is the founder of Life’s Reflections. She began audio-taping family memories in 1982 when her mother was quite ill. Jan realized there were many things about her family she did not know and never would unless she asked her mother the right questions. After her mother's death, Jan continued to interview relatives and close family friends. She continued to learn more about her heritage from each taping session. She started the business, "Life’s Reflections" and has been interviewing and audio taping people ever since. Knowing that she could not interview everyone – she came up with the "Life’s Reflections Memories Kit," (kits no longer available as of 7/07) so that anyone interested in preserving family memories would have the tools to do so with ease.
Jan is a former elementary school teacher. She resides in Lakewood, Colorado. Jan has four children and 10 grand children. She earned both her Bachelors Degree and her Masters from the University of Colorado. She is a member of the Colorado Historical Society and the Lakewood and San Luis Valley Historical Societies. Until recently, Jan was an adjunct instructor for Adams State College as well as working for the History Center of Fremont County, interviewing local persons about civic history. Jan is also a member of the Custer County Historical Society.
