Author: Sandra Brian Lore

Sandra Lore was born in Illinois, attended Northwestern University and graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University. She accompanied her peripatetic husband Mark on foreign service assignments for 32 years. They are the parents of two grown children and one almost grown grandson. They have retired to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where Sandra spends most of her time doing as she pleases—some volunteer work, lots of reading, lots of writing and fiddling away time on her violin and mountain dulcimer. She wrote a book called From Oreos to Olios for her then 12-year-old grandson so he would learn a bit about growing up in the last century. So far, retired life can’t be beat!
