Oldest of Siblings
Laurie is the second-oldest of six children. She would care for her younger children when her parents went to town. All the children had to walk-morning and night-to school, a one-room school where Laurie's teacher Mr. Applebee helped guide her creativity and love of nature. Much of what she later learned in high school biology Laurie had already learned from her grandmother.
