Dec 7, 2004 - Introducing Laurie

Hello!

I'm Laurie - Cheryl's intreped support person, traveling companion and pack mule. And not necessarily in that order!

Just a little about me... I'm originally from Philadelphia, PA. Cheryl and I met in library school at Drexel University and really cemented our friendship at a 24 hour see saw fund raising marathon during our first term at school. We thought we had some people lined up for relief shifts, but it wound up that only 4 of us showed up. You get to know people very well when you spend 24 hours on a see saw together!

After school, we switched coasts. She stayed in Philadelphia and I moved to Seattle for a fantastic job working with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as we gave computers to public libraries all over the country. It was an amazing experience!

Now I live in the Olympia, WA area with my wonderful, fabulous, amazing partner Dave and our three cats - Zeke, Jaz, and Max. Lucky for me, Dave loves to garden and I get to eat homegrown produce. Together we like to hike, backpack and kayak.

And in a few days... I get to become an adopted aunt!

Laurie
