About Me
The beautiful New River Valley near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, has been my home for the past 25 years. Paul and I raised three kids here, before parting ways in 2002. We have two sons and a daughter, my favorite people in the world.
My extended family all live in Virginia, although not near me. My mother and father passed away, and I miss them so much...
My Interests
Some of you may remember that I loved to dance....well that love never dwindled, and for the past 10 years or so I've been into ballroom dancing..Latin, swing, Argentine Tango...I love it all, and do it regularly..usually 2 or 3 times a week..Now the clothes I wear while dancing are not quite like Dancing with the Stars, but I usually make sure there is a skirt that sways with the breeze and twirls well! Other than that, I really like biking on the trails ...it's so pretty here...and I do some mountain hiking occasionally with friends..I have gotten up my nerve to do a little white water rafting in West Virginia, but I always am compelled to have these longish heartfelt talks with the river guides convincing them that I really,REALLY don't want the raft to flip over..ever!..I love entertaining folks in my home, sitting on the porch with a cup of hot tea, playing Catch Phrase, laughing more than crying...Oh yes, and I'm really good at renting movies, putting them in, and then almost immediately falling asleep regardless of who is there with me.
Employment or Career
Real Estate. I sell it and become great friends with most of my clients. Long and Foster is the company I work with in Christiansburg / Blacksburg VA.
Music I Like
Jack Johnson, Norah Jones,Jason Mraz, Roanoke Symphony and a bunch of others whose names I can never seem to hold on to.I like old musical scores like from Camelot, West Side Story, The Sound of Music. I like live music in my home, or at friend's, when people reveal all this great talent and ability to entertain others...I like singing along.
Books I Like
Books on CD's...Good stories...
Television I like
Grey's Anatomy.
Movies I like
I told you, I was sleeping!
Sports Teams I like
My kids are grown! ....But I do live close to the infamous Virginia Tech, and I am obligated by law to face Blacksburg every morning on my knees and thank God for the Hokies.

Hi Patti,
It was great to see you on the Corps site and to learn some about your family. Mary and I are doing great here in Columbus. We have a good fellowship of around 300 with Tom and Cathy Burke coordinating the fellowship leaders. Many of the fellowship members are folks my WOW family got into the Word along with their kids and grandkids.
The woman who taught me about God's love and defined certain words i was clueless about. God Bless!

How exciting to finally see your face and catch up to you after all these years!!! I would like your e-mail and I will give you mine. I am back in my hometown of Cleveland (Parma Hts., Ohio). Guess what? I am going to the Blue Ridge Mountain area of Virginia the first week in August! It would sure be great to see you even for a short time.
Love,
Lynn (Thomas) Smoke
I'm thrilled to see you here. I didn't know you were a member. So many fond memories of you. Just last week I thought of the time you spent with me when you were a WOW rover, and, later, how you encouraged me to ask for a change in a Corps assignment that I was not happy about. God bless you for that! I'm overjoyed to see your beautiful, smiling face and moreover, to know that we're in the same state.
I love you,
Kathy
God bless you!
I saw your message on Lynn Grove's email contacts and wanted to just say Hi. You are in my thoughts on a fairly regular basis. The impact you had on my life is significant. It is great that you are happy and so in love with your family! Your heart has always been a hallmark of your life.
Have a wonderful day in whatever you do!!!
Love in Christ,
John Zika
