Information technology's like these journalists just desire to see how good is his memory or rather how bad. "What do you remember nearly Australia?" Really??

Either way we're happy to have it or at least I am. I hope Jan is doing well after his surgery and is getting used to life without his foot.

    Yeah, sir, some other yr has gone by, much too quickly if you ask me. I promise new year has started off good for you. The cease of 2013 was not so proficient for me, ended up in the ER with pneumonia. Finally, getting better now but the later part of Dec I spent in bed. I had no thought how pneumonia can knock you right off your anxiety. I promise information technology doesn't come back any time soon. In the meantime Alex in Federal republic of germany has sent us an article from a German magazine from 2010 that mentions Jan having a grandchild. Some of y'all can read this and some of us will just browse through information technology but nevertheless information technology's prissy to see. Go to Gallery xiv to see a couple more pix.
    12/07/xiii    Newly added pic
    Merely got this in and had to post, will be adding it to a new gallery soon. Maybe time to start a new one. Meliorate go going while the going is good. Honestly, not certain if we already have this one or not merely just in case. It was taken at time when I'yard certain it was a very carefree fourth dimension for January back in the seventies or even earlier when he was merely getting started.

    11/29/13    Anybody Out In that location
    There is really no way to tell when the inspiration might come over me to update this website. It is sporadic that is for sure. Every now then Jan nonetheless comes to my mind and I wonder how he is doing. I hope he is nonetheless around and is doing equally well as can be. I've non seen any of his films on Television receiver lately but that is non to say that Airwolf or some moving picture is non playing somewhere in the world. My world is doing all correct. My grandson is growing like a weed and is such a cute fiddling boy. I spend a lot of time with him and enjoy it very much. Has anyone heard if Amber ever had a child? I've not seen anything most her. I hope she is well also. I can't really requite yous any updates on January because there aren't any that I know of and really just to know that he's nevertheless out at that place somewhere is enough for me. I did just pay again for another year of this webspace then we shall see what happens.
    To starting time off with I only noticed this little moving picture, really someone's home flick of January afterward filming Large Wednesday. The picture show is chosen CACTUS Railroad vehicle. You've probably already seen it, if not you tin see it at Surfer'due south Journal by clicking on any of the scans below. It is a cool story of Jan and Denny Aaberg, the screenwriter of Large Wednesday driving forth what was undoubtedly fantastic scenery down to Rattlesnake Signal and Punta Pequena, Mexico. It is astonishing to run into that someone however has some Jan footage nosotros've not seen still. I dear the retro and coincidental feel of this little film narrated by Denny himself. January is immature, natural and beautiful.
    And here is how this wonderful embrace of the magazine IN THE KNOW came to be back in the mid 70s as told by then editor James Spada. I wish the article was a little longer with more than item but squeamish to see just the same. Spada says, "I interviewed him in his rustic Topanga Canyon garden. He and his wife and little girl were a delight..."

    03/10/13    Buster & Billie
    Just worked on all 4 pages of Buster & Billie, 1 of major JMV films which should be visible and now all 4 pages accept correct links. Looking over all the material on this film reminds me how good information technology was and how popular. I think if they re-did this film today it would be but every bit skillful because the story is tragic and very touching. January is dandy every bit the popular bad boy with traces of good in him which the love of Billie strengthens. In this film Jan is then young, talented and beautiful and no one can take that away from him. BUSTER & BILLIE
    01/xiii/13    Getting on with the New Yr
    Happy New year's day everynone. I do look forward to hopefully going over some of the sometime pages and update them. I wish very badly that I had some new fabric to postal service but I will go over my scrapbooks to double check and triple check if in that location is anything I've missed. In the meantime if at that place is anyone out there with something nosotros've not seen yet from Jan's career please speak up or send in whatever scans y'all care to share with the rest of u.s.a.. I can see from the FB page that there are definitely some January fans still kick out there. Give thanks goodness for that.
    11/30/12    Defiance Facebook Page
    How-do-you-do, again, I bet you are sitting at that place with your rima oris hanging open up at seeing an update on this page. I've been thinking for a while now to come back here but somehow I've not had the courage still I noticed that in the terminal few months or so fans take been active once more, writing, inquiring most Jan. It certainly appears that there are fans yet out there thinking almost Jan regardless of his circumstances; the hard core fans who are loyal to a fault. Then in light of that I've decided to start slow. I've started a Defiance Facebook group and if you'd like to be a part of it search Jan Michael Vincent Defiance and hopefully it will come. That way we tin go on more in affect with each other and and then I volition work on the website itself and perchance become some assist with you. Did you lot find a couple of picture trailers with Jan in it? Here are the links though you may accept seen them long earlier I did:
  • Airwolf Due south Africa
  • Hollywood Don't Surf
  • 05/24/eleven   Real Life
