Lawrence & Jena currently reside
in Evanston, IL. Lawrence is one of our very early members, joining
CCCC in 2001. He served on the Board of Governors from 2003-2005,
and then a stint on the Executive Committee from 2005-2007.
Lawrence is co-owner of Wilburn Thomas, a marketing and brand
development company. Jena is Office manager for a large Chicago law
firm.
They have been avid boating enthusiasts for many years, having
previously owned and rehabbed some large woodies! Their first
fiberglass boat was a 31 Commander, while their second and current
Commander is a 1965 Commander Sedan. They bought this boat after
viewing it once under a blue poly tarp in a severe winter storm,
while Jena had the flu. The original 431 Lincolns lasted one year
before they repowered with 8.1 Crusaders, resulting in what many
consider as the fastest 38 Commander in the club.
J
Their home port is Michigan City, IN, where Lawrence was
co-chairman of the clubs 2005 Cruise & Rendezvous. Lawrence
originally comes from Peoria, IL where he owns 40 acres of forest
land with his brother-in-law (and hunting partner). Hunting is
another of Lawrence's passions, both with bow& arrow and rifles.
When work, their Commander, & hunting doesn't keep him fully
occupied, he's been known to "mess around" with antique motorcycles
!! Jena uses Lawrence's other diversions as an excuse to stay home
for a weekend and take a breather !
/ Dick Morland, Chief
Commander
