Lynne Giguere:  

After graduating from Pacific Shores, I worked for Body Glove Wet Suits in Hermosa Beach as their custom wetsuit builder. In 1978, I married had two sons, and moved to Garden Grove, CA. After my divorce in 1986, I left the beach area and moved to Idaho, where I raised my two sons and began my career with the Forest Service. When the dog died and the kids left home I took to the road. In 2003, I ended up back in California working for the Riverside Forest Fire Laboratory.

I headed to Ogden, UT for 3 months to work in the Regional Office assisting the Utah/Nevada/California Water Rights Coordinator. Four weeks after returning from Ogden I received a Fire Assignment in Fairbanks, Alaska. Fire season picked up and I was assigned to the Scott Mountain fire in McKenzie Bridge, OR and the Oak Flat fire in Merlin, OR. Upon returning home I was reassigned to the Twitchell fire on the Fishlake National Forest in Richfield, UT. I've managed some local kayaking trips to Big and Barney Lakes in what's been a very busy summer season.
