About Me
I'm married to Christopher Hallett, 15th and 30th Corps, for 22 years and we have 2 girls, Becca 20 and Lily 17. We went through the Corps training with #30 together as a family at Gunnison, 1999-2001 and our assignment was state coordinators for NH/VT/ME. We left that position and the ministry in 2005, but have stayed in Bow, New Hampshire--that makes eight years. We do not participate in any other church, ministry or group
We have two daughters and three cats. My younger daughter, Lily, is an avid rock climber and talented writer and artist. My elder daughter, Becca, is self-starting her modeling career in Boston and enjoying success. We're often in Boston ourselves and think it's a fantastic city.
For myself, I write poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction, as I have time and discipline, and participate in two writers' groups to stay active and connected.
My Interests
Writing and Reading
Gardening
Outdoor activites: walking, skiing, etc.
history, politics and animals
Employment or Career
I am self-employed as a freelance writer and insurance agent. Since coming to New Hampshire, I've also worked fulltime as a non-profit administrator for NH Public Radio and NH Writers' Project.
Music I Like
I like lots of music but could not name any of it -- mostly it's what my daughters put on. I just follow along.
Books I Like
I am a big reader. I love novels and creative nonfiction. I don't do so well with nonfiction that doesn't tell a story. Along those lines I really enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Soloist by Steve Lopez, and The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner. Too many more favorites to list.
Television I like
The Office is my favorite right now-- I recently watched every show in order through the first 5 seasons so I got the complete stroy line and sequence of events. Not in one day of course. Now I'm waiting for HULU to post all of season 6.
Movies I like
Too many. I was surprised to really like The Hangover. I also like Into the Wild, Little Miss Sunshine, I Robot, 16 Blocks, Lords of Dogtown.....Pulp Fiction is my all time favorite. I can watch comedies like 13 Going on 30, The Devil Wears Prada, Freaky Friday, or My Big Fat Greek Wedding over and over again, especially after a hard day.
Sports Teams I like
The Red Sox and The Patriots of course, though only because I live in New England not because I watch any games.

What a wonderful flashback you sparked! I had completely forgotten about the old Emporia Hall kitchen. That was a joy. Jan and I cherish our memories of you, including the time in the dorm in New Knoxville. God Bless, and give our love to Christopher, too.
Great to hear from you. I remember you very well. I remember you even helped with our wedding.
I enjoyed seeing the family photos you posted.
We live in NC. Debbie and I have a 17 year old son, Josh. I just took Josh on a week long road trip to Michigan and Ohio. Got to introduce him around to several friends from the old days. It was a good time to break out of the routine stuff and talk about a lot of things.
Give my regards to Christopher.
Best Regards
Gerard
It is you! That is who I thought the only LewEllyn knew would be! How nice to hear from you. You were always a blessing to me and little did I know that I would experience some of the same challenges you did. God is sure loving and faithful to see us through, isn't he? Let's keep in touch. I'd love to hear about what is up with you now days.
Love,
Lynn
Bless.

Rita's novel will be out on August 1, but is available for preorder from online bookstores. I thought you might like to know. Hope all is going well for you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about you and your family. I remember Christopher from when I was in-residence with the 15th Way Corps. He always seemed to have a cheery smile and a something friendly to say. I am glad that you have found such a good place to live - just right for writing, I should think. (I like to read and write and would love to do freelance work one day.) Your daughters are very pretty - just like you! Have a lovely day.
Love, Sarah
