Lorene Andris, Mother

Ella Lorene Sullivan Andris

Lorene at 4 yearsMy mother is easily the most important person in my life. As I have grown older, one of the great joys of knowing her has been to help her remember and honor her past. I wish I had started sooner and been more careful about these details. A couple of times, she has written down stories for me, and I have interviewed her many times. I also have access to her photograph collection. So here is my reconstruction of her story, as much in her own words as I can manage.
