A Real Chicago Girl

[vshendria]

Certainly, Lorie was one of my very first fandom friends, both on-line and in real life. I remember what a thrill it was when she commented on Borderlines, way back in the old days when we were still on Yahoo Groups

V, did you get Rich's addy? If not, please email me (claudia603 at gmail dot com)! I don't know your email addy! :)

What a lovely tribute and memory. Thank you for sharing.

[vshendria]

No, I don't have Rich's addy,although I might still have an address for Lorie somewhere, would Rich use that too? I was thinking of sending a card, but if Rich is going to read these posts, it might be more meaningful to him...
What do you think?

[claudia603]

Gosh, sorry I didn't answer this! I think you should do whatever makes you most comfortable! I think Rich will appreciate anything that honors dear Lorie, whether in here or on paper! If you want the addy (and Rich's name, which is different), do email! I'm happy to give it to you! *hugs*

They are. She gave me her extra copy of The Charioteer too.

What a lovely post and tribute to Lorie.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for writing this. So many of my memories of Lorie are tied up with memories of you as well. I loved our time together in Chicago when we went to the FLW house.

Love you.

[vshendria]

The memories are still strong. It's hard to believe that person is not where we left her

It was so obvious how much Lorie loved Chicago. It was certainly contagious. And I'm not surprised about the faith thing. Her calm & strength showed it.

Thanks for sharing these memories. I loved reading them.
