Five Things
posted Wednesday, 17 January 2007
Educational bloggers are playing a game where they "tag" other bloggers. If you are tagged, then you must tell about five things others may not know about you and tag five more bloggers. Tony Vincent tagged me, so here are five things about Lynne Wolters you may not know:
- When my children were very young, I worked as a handweaver and handspinner teaching weaving to Camp Fire summer camp girls, and creating and selling commissioned and consignment work. Old Oregon Handcraft weavings were featured in galleries and boutiques in Portland and several coastal galleries on the West Coast. I used a custom dye artist in Northern California and worked with all natural fibers; primarily wool, mohair, and silk.
- Other previous occupations include order desk/accounts payable for a commercial janitorial products company, an administrative assistant for an international insurance brokerage firm, a hospital pathology secretary, an assistant director of a community college coooperative work experience department, a school-to-work/business education partnership coordinator, a workforce development and education as economic development specialist, and a community college instructor teaching HTML and web page design courses.
- I served as Co-Director of the Northwest Center for Children's Literature.
- I was raised, by my grandpa, to camp and fish in the rivers, streams, and lakes of the Pacific Northwest. I spent one entire summer in the woods. When I finally came out of the woods, I was shocked by the look of man-made buildings and the speed of everything passing by in the car.
- Most of my childhood summers were spent reading, playing monopoly, riding bikes, and skateboarding when I wasn't in the fields picking berries, bucking hay, or planting broccoli on a planter. I can still smell the earth moist with berry juices, and see my little transister radio sitting on the top of a raspberry fence post.

Lynne, it's good to read more about you! And wow, you've had a lot of
previous occupations-and I'm sure all of your experiences help with your
job today.
