Officially, Jane Foltz is retiring from the city of Abilene after 20 years, starting with the Abilene Parks and Recreation Department in 2000 and ending as the Abilene city manager. But Foltz’ service with the city of Abilene goes back a bit further. She started as a lifeguard at the Abilene Municipal Pool when she was still a junior attending Abilene High School. Foltz said that summer she was babysitting a couple kids and taking them to the pool. One day she was told one of the lifeguards had broken her arm and was asked to be the replacement. “They knew I had my senior lifeguarding certification. That is what started me in parks and rec,” she said.
