Say "Hello" to New LW Members

Lorene and I met in Seattle and then taught English as a Second Language overseas for six years (Korea, Taiwan, Guam, and Turkey).  I was able to fulfill my lifelong dream of being a world traveler since we did many trips while we were teaching.  Lorene is from Corvallis and has family here so we decided to move here in 1994.  We bought a house in 1998 which caused me to pick up a new hobby of gardening.  We have a Welsh Corgi and two cats.  We both have had serious health issues -  mine was breast cancer last year, so we both are active in promoting universal health care.  We are both very active in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis.  Lorene also sings in Confluence.  I work as a substitute teacher and just completed CNA training to work in long term care.  Lorene is an administrator in an assisted living facility.  I'm very happy that Lavender womyn exists so that new lesbians to the area can more easily connect with all of us.  I think building a strong community is very important.  Feel free to contact me at nancy.haldeman@comcast.net
