she's been living here for probably at least the last 53 years. she trekked on down from upstate new york. i've known lory since andrew turned me on to the circle about 19 years ago. she had a great daughter - rip crystal, she has two beautiful grand daughters, and she has been a good friend for me every time i see her, and even if i can't. she has been an important part of some important points in my life here, and has helped me and my family considerably.
