Connie Coleman, long-time PFLAG mom, has returned to PFLAG involvement following the extended illness and death last spring of her husband Don. Connie was on our board for several years when her daughter Abby was active in OASOS and at C.U. and has now volunteered to take over the maintenance of our lending library. In a gesture of love and condolence, the board donated the cost of materials and Cathy Gaffney and Connie, using recycled materials, built a new steps and a porch entrance to Connie’s mobile home.
Herb and Louise Crede moved to Longmont a year and a half ago from Illinois and joined PFLAG to honor their lesbian daughter and to work for LGBT equality. This summer they were among the first to join the newly formed St. Vrain Safe Schools Coalition. Herb has now agreed to join our board as a liaison to the SVSSC with an interest in helping us do more PFLAG outreach in Longmont. Herb is a retired health care administrator and United Methodist minister. He and Louise are committed to working to change United Methodist Church policy to be LGBT inclusive. We welcome them both and are grateful to Herb for joining the board even though he doesn’t do websites.
