JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Hello,
I’m looking for the Jan Lukens (male) who lived in Greensboro probably 20 years ago, worked at Anne Allen, painted wonderful portraits?
Thanks.

Anne and Wes were a great team spreading the beneficial words of plant-based diet for decades. I’ll miss Anne. http://www.legacy.com/WinstonSalem/DeathNotices.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=85910778 gives details about a celebration of her life this Sunday - I’ll copy the text here in case the link stops working at some point.
