Lora got her BA from Purdue and went on to receive an MFA in Playwriting from the Univ. of Massachusetts at Amherst. Shortly after receiving her MFA, she won the Mark A Klein Playwriting Award. She wrote, worked & lived in Chicago and later Cincinnati where she worked for Gibson Greetings as the Head Editor for their Humorous Card line. Above all else, Lora was a great sister, wonderful aunt, and very loyal best friend - she lived her life with much humor and heart. My sister, Deb and I miss her very much.

Lora was my best friend through high school. She was a witty girl ... always ready with a comeback. She was so knowledgeable about sports and use to 'make me' go to the football games with her. She would spend her time explaining the calls being made and what was happening on the field. We stayed friends up to the time she died. Her body just wore out. I think about her frequently and will always miss her.
