John & Janice Anthes



Our Anthes Family currently lives in the beautiful mountain community of Cedar Crest just east of Albuquerque, NM.

Janice retired from Sun Microsystem in 2009 and after 38 years with Sandia, John retired at the end of this year, 2011.  He is looking forward to having more time to spend on his hobbies and travel.  John loves Motorcycles and has 5 of them, 4 of which will benefit from his having time to get them running, while he enjoys long rides on the BMW that runs. John also has an extensive Antique Radio collection and is active in the local Antique Radio Club.  He can be often found in his shop sprucing up the radios, most of which he has working and looking almost like new. 

Janice retired after 21 years with Sun Microsystems.  Sun was being acquired by Oracle and it seemed to be the perfect time to say good-bye and start the next phase of her life.  Janice is an avid Dog enthusiast, active in showing our dogs in Obedience, Agility, Rally and Conformation in addition to being an AKC Obedience and Rally Judge approved to judge all levels. She really enjoys traveling around the country to judge or sometimes compete. 

We currently have three dogs,
Sparks, a Flat-coated Retriever, Rowdy, a Shetland Sheepdog and Tempe, Sparks daugher and quite a handful.  Sparks is currently working on his UD title and recently moved down to preferred in agility and is enjoying the lower jump heights.  Rowdy earns his name when Janice says okay on the start line of an agility course, believe it or not he is faster than Sparks.  Tempe just started taking classes in Conformation and Agility, we have big plans for her.
