About Laurie
I have lived in the same house in La Grange Park for 32 years - my kids are 28 and 24. I fell in love with La Grange Park upon viewing the first home that we looked at here and when I saw this house, I said, "I love this house" so many times we almost had to bid over the asking price!
My kids both attended Ogden Avenue School, Park Jr High and graduated from Lyons Township. I taught French at both pre-school and elementary school levels in the enrichment programs. In 1997, I started a mailing service - Alpha Omega Mailing Service and work out of my home.
I wrote a column for Suburban Life for 10 years and hope to continue in the same vein - people, happenings, events - in our village. Thanks for reading.

Hi Laur, it was once said that the "Lions would roar in 2004" -- did you write that Laur?
You are the best writer that I know personally, you go girl!
