Hi, I have nothing to do with your class, but one of your blogs mentioned that your sister is Lora Renner. Is this the Central Theatre grad Lora Renner? I'm trying to contact her to say hi. Here's my email. fb@smalltownkid.com. Could either you or her reply to that address with a response? I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your time. David Bousson
