Today's interview is with the author of Life in the Big Old House featured monthly in the Daily Astorian Coast weekend. Lauri Serafin spent many years sailing -in fact that's how she met her husband. She's a genealogist, restores historic houses which has led to a love of creating historic needlework, crocheting lace and finding just the right historic decor. She volunteers at the Flavel house, is a docent, is on the board of the Cascadia Chamber Opera and is creating an avenue for her Pint Size Opera. One of her greatest joys was being a roller derby ref.
