As Wayne notes, I was referring to Bill's wife Jan. And, I don't think you'll find the two data points I provided in the article I linked to, as I just remember that was something I'd learned from Bill in one of our many discussions over the years. It was something I included in a couple blog entries. I'd thought it came from the Laverne article in 2002, but having looked back through the article I can see I got my wires crossed (again).
As for the other Jan (aka, Yaan Heine)... I ain't going there. I enjoy reading Bicycle Quarterly immensely, appreciate the randoneuring scene for what it is and admire Jan for figuring out how to make a living out of a hobby without spoiling his love of the hobby... much the same as Bill & Jan McCready have and several other tandem builders who we consider friends.
