Lura Leslie (Bennett) Moore's Page

I am so looking forward to re-connecting with some of you in June. Here’s hoping we have a BIG crowd. Thinking about our high school years and all the wonderful friendships never fails to bring a smile to my face. Having enjoyed reading about some of you on this website, I will attempt to share the last 45 years of my life.
First of all, my last name, Moore, is a result of being legally adopted by my stepfather shortly after high school graduation. No wedding bells in my past.
After graduation, I went to Texas Tech for 2 years where Gaylene Pfeffer and I had loads of fun as roommates. Then, on to nursing school at Scott and White in Temple. This was a “diploma program” that has wonderful hands on training, but no degree. That came in 1972 when I returned to Fort Worth and TCU where I received my BSN (nursing).
I met my soul mate and life-partner, Jill, in nursing school and we have been together for 41 great years.
Career-wise, I worked as an RN in med-surg and pediatrics for 15 years and spent the last 15 years in Nursing Administration, managing the pediatric units at University Medical Center.
Jill is a Nurse Practitioner, but her real passion is fiber arts - spinning, knitting, weaving, designing and teaching. I have been weaving since 1980 and having retired early in 1999, I manage our fiber arts business, Brookmoore Creations,
We create scarves, shawls, jackets, vests, southwestern wraps and very special handwoven baby blankets. A website is in the works ….soon, I hope.
Over four decades, we have loved many generations of furry, four-legged “kids”, all mini.schnauzers, except for two long-lived kitties.
We have a wonderful home/studio in a desert setting, filled with fiber, yarns and equipment. We love company, so …if you find yourself headed this way, make a reservation at our “Brookmoore Gulch” resort.
Many thanks to Alicia, Lynne and a great team for all the reunion work, plus special thanks to Sue for creating this website. See you in June !
