5 Things About Lori Tyndall

I was asked to provide a picture I loved but it had to have me in it so thank you Dick Gilbreath!

I have been married to Roy for 24+ years, we have 3 amazing children, Andrew, Elizabeth and Emily, I am very proud of the wonderful adults they have grown into. I grew up on a small resort island, Wildwood, in Southern New Jersey. The house I grew up in was literally across the street from the beach. It sounds fun but summers didn’t consist of lounging on the beach and playing at the boardwalk, the local people began working as young as the law would allow from the time it started getting warm until the first hint of fall! We moved to KY 22 years ago and I have now been working at UK for 10 years 8 of which have been in Geography.

 

 

1. What do you do in your spare time?

I have to admit, in my spare time I’m pretty lazy. I do a little cooking, hang out with my husband and my kids if they happen to stop by but also like to watch history documentaries and old TV shows:  Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy and the list goes on. Napping is high on that list too!

2. What is your favorite movie?

My absolute favorite movie is “The Big Chill” it has a lot to do with the music!

3. Are you a cat person or a dog person (or do you like another species entirely)?

I had always been a 100% dog person UNTIL two summers ago when my son brought home a cute tiny kitten named Jack. Jack is now part of the family.

4. What is the most interesting/your favorite place you've been? 

Location wise my favorite place in on the beach with the soft white sand between my toes and the Atlantic Ocean lapping at my ankles. But, any location will do as long as I have my husband and three children with me.

5. What is your favorite food? 

Favorite food…how many can I name? The island where I grew up was only 90 minutes from Philly (South Street) and 2 hours from New York so REAL Cheese Steaks, Hoagies, Pizza and the best homemade Italian food you ever tasted!
