snip
Janna hails from the remote Oklahoma city of Madill (pop. 3,818) but enjoyed educational privilege growing up. She and her sisters attended the exclusive Camp Waldemar school in Hunt, Texas, before heading off to Wellesley College just outside Boston, where she graduated cum laude with a degree in Spanish. After graduation, Janna found her way to Washington, D.C., where she attended law school at George Washington University and eventually landed a job at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Arlington, Va. It was during that period that she met Ryan, just 30 years old and starting his first term in the House.

The two enjoyed a political connection, albeit across party lines. Janna had previously worked on the Hill as an aide to Oklahoma Congressman Bill Brewster, a Democrat. Her first cousin Dan Boren is now a Democratic Congressman from Oklahoma. (He released a warm statement on Saturday saying that Janna was sure to be “Paul’s strongest supporter on the campaign trail.”) When her engagement to Ryan was made public, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Janna was “depriving Congress of one of its more eligible bachelors.”

6. This can't be true....she grew up poor, with no parents,

8. Good grief. Silly errors.

Camp Waldemar is an exclusive girls' summer camp on the Guadalupe River near Hunt, TX.

Janna Ryan also attended the academically rigorous St. Stephen's Episcopal School, near Austin.
