Lynn Krogh...... while you've only seen her face at our ZOOM meetings, she is the moving force behind our Ways 'N Means prizes and she does a fabulous, bang-up-good job.
She was born Lynn Denyse Hofmeister in 1954 in San Diego, California, where her Dad was stationed as a Marine. Everett Hofmeister hailed from Brooklyn, New York, and mom June Smith was born in Helena, Montana. (How did they meet? Wouldn't that be a good story!) Lynn explains that her name stems from Irish influence and means small lake.
Lynn has many hobbies besides genealogy and EWGS. She has 15 grandchildren, loves our Spokane Symphony, volunteers at the dog shelter and visits local schools to help kids with their reading.
Her research has been in New York, Wisconsin and Montana and she's been lucky enough to visit the old homestead in Montana. Lynn says her most interesting find was to learn "that my grandmother went to "boarding school" at the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum.
She's an avid Ancestry user, favorite color is sage green and favorite dessert is "any kind of pie."
Lynn skipped the last question: "What words describe you?" So I'll furnish it for her: Super-Pleasant-Knowledgeable-Fantastic. EWGS is so lucky and blessed to have such an always-ready-to-help member.
