She and her husband, David, met at Florida Presbyterian (now Eckerd) College as first-year students in 1967. \u201cOn our first date,\u201d she says, \u201cwe sat on the ground in the quad to watch an outdoor movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple graduated in May 1971, got married on campus during graduation weekend, and currently live outside of Scottsdale, Arizona. They have two daughters\u2014Megan, an obstetrician\/gynecologist soon to join her husband at Mayo Hospital in Arizona, and Malia, who subtitles TV programs and films and lives with her husband, Enrique, and their two sons, Adrian and Diego, in Seville, Spain.<\/p>\n

Because of the pandemic, the Moores hadn\u2019t seen Malia and her Spanish family in three years. So at a reunion in Tennessee in July 2022, about 30 family members gathered together. \u201cI was taking the grandkids to Rock City, a park and tourist attraction in Georgia, and I decided to wear my shirt to promote Eckerd,\u201d Janet explains. \u201cI walked out of our bedroom and Enrique said, \u2018Eckerd? We\u2019re working with Eckerd.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Enrique is the residence director for the International Studies Abroad Study Center in Seville, Spain<\/a>. This year, for the first time, Eckerd students were part of the program<\/a>. Led by Yanira Angulo-Cano, Ph.D.<\/a>, professor of Spanish<\/a> at Eckerd, 11 students spent a full Fall Semester at the Study Center.<\/p>\n

They took classes at one of two local universities in Seville. Angulo-Cano taught two courses\u2014a mandatory Spanish Seminar, which involved going into the city to learn more about the history and culture of Seville, and a course her students designed pertaining to their discipline. Students also collaborated on a blog<\/a> to document their experiences. Those who chose to study at the Seville Center lived with one other Eckerd student in a host home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9962″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Spring Break 1968: Janet and David captain a friend’s boat to Fort Myers because they couldn’t afford to fly home for the break.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”48″][image_with_animation image_url=”9985″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Malia and Enrique with their two sons, Adrian and Diego<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”9964″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Janet Moore ’71 was wearing this T-shirt when her son-in-law realized the Seville connection.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cEnrique learned about Eckerd when we began working with ISA to launch our study center,\u201d Angulo-Cano explains in a text message. \u201cAll this time, we had no idea that we would be working with an Eckerd alumna\u2019s [family member] to create opportunities for Eckerd students to study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Janet and David\u2019s son-in-law is extremely devoted to his students and providing opportunities for them to learn about Spain, Janet says. \u201cHe is the best tour guide I have ever known!\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Malia and Enrique hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for all the American students studying in Seville through ISA. \u201cThe Thanksgiving dinner for the students is something that Malia encouraged Enrique to do for the students who might be feeling a bit homesick and missing a big holiday,\u201d Janet explains. \u201cIt started with her boys making paper turkey feathers and pilgrim hats for everyone and using all our traditional family recipes\u2014except the turkey. You could not buy a big, whole turkey in Spain, but the restaurant could prepare chicken or goose. So they did their best to Americanize.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”8296″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]The study center in Seville<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cI strongly believe that visiting other countries, cultures and even different areas of one\u2019s own country is very important in developing one\u2019s character and understanding of differences,\u201d Janet adds.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cWe were very fortunate to be able to take our children to interesting places in Mexico, Hawaii, Guatemala and Chile.

Janet\u2019s path to Eckerd also is an example of stepping outside the box. \u201cMy first time on an airplane was to fly to Tampa to start college at FPC,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI lived in Windsor, Connecticut, but I had lived in Dunedin, Florida, for five years, so I found out about Eckerd.

The first year after graduation, they lived not far from campus. And then they left. \u201cWe\u2019ve never been west,\u201d David said, according to Janet. \u201cLet\u2019s go to Arizona!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe packed our cat and a few belongings into our two-seater Porsche 914,\u201d she says, \u201cand drove to Arizona with fellow Eckerd graduate John Lonsinger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Janet taught and substituted in the public school system for 36 years\u2014mostly in special education but also reading, math, English as a second language, and German. David was division president at 7-Eleven and, later, the chief operating officer for Circle K’s 4,000 stores. He also was a board member and top fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy and United Cerebral Palsy. The couple currently owns JJ Madisons, a casual-dining restaurant in Mesa, Arizona.<\/p>\n
