was born! In 1989 Dan retired to pursue investment interests in
Alaska and Louisiana. He has since returned to Humboldt County
and is currently enjoying retirement in Willow Creek and international
travel and investments.
Gary L. Evans, CPA joined Dan
Aalfs in partnership in 1976 and started lightening his schedule in
1996, and officially retiring in 2002. Gary and his wife, Debra,
spend most of their time enjoying their retirement home in Willow

tales of his hunting and fishing adventures.
In 1990, R. Jane Cole, CPA
became a partner. Jane came to Aalfs, Evans & Co. in 1984 as
a staff accountant. Jane became a retiring partner in 2002, but
is still involved in working with some clients, particularly during tax
season. Each year she reduces her hours with us further, as she
transitions into "full" retirement with her husband, retired HSU
professor, John Sawyer. Jane and John have been enjoying
international travel, following their mutual passion in botany...
