Nancy's Story
Life
Went from GCHS to Bennett College, a two year school in Millbrook, N.Y. then studied Journalism at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. Skipped graduation ceremonies to begin a job at Associated Press in Miami.
A few years later married GCHS alum Luke Lynch, a Yale and Harvard grad who works in a NYC law firm. We had two children, Bettina Anne in 1973 and Luke III in 1976. Bettina, a graduate of Westminister School and Roanoke College, works at AIG. Luke III is a graduate of Phillips Academy Andover and George Washington University. Luke III works at UBS. In 2000 he married Kelly McLaughlin of Manhasset and there is now a Luke IV. His sister, Erin Gail Lynch was born on Valentine's Day 2004 !
Three years ago I helped launch Pet Safe, a program for Animals in Disasters at the American Red Cross in Nassau County, New York.
Mission: "To educate Nassau County pet owners about disaster preparedness and provide emergency care and sheltering through local veterinarians and animal shelters."
Pet Safe is co-chaired by a veterinarian from the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association, a member agency of the Execut...Expand for more
ive Task Force which oversees the program.
Our plan has been activated many times, including the night of 9/11/01. It is one of the first such plans in the country and I'm pleasantly surprised to have helped create something other than our two beautiful children.
Recently there was an article on Pet Safe and me in Newsday. It's really nice to get into a newspaper when you want to !
Pet Safe not only helps animals but the loving owners who refuse to leave their threatened homes if their pet doesn't have a safe evacuation place.
If this idea strikes a chord with a classmate please contact me at 516-747-3500 ext. 252 about starting a Pet Safe with the Red Cross in your community. Or if you still live in Nassau County, join the Pet Safe Action Team as a volunteer.
Email petsafe the numeral 2 at hot mail (one word).com.(guess emails are xxxxed out)
Look forward to hearing from you !
Workplace
After working for the Associated Press in Miami I worked for Mutual Broadcasting in New York City, then worked for various local newspapers. My last job was in Public Relations at the American Red Cross in Nassau County.
