Storytellers

Liisa (Finnish spelling) Ogburn was born in NC to a Finn and Smithfieldian, left NC for a long while and returned with her husband to raise three kids. If one were to graph her life, it would not be a straight line. She tries to keep that in mind while parenting three teenagers who are also nonlinear. (She co-wrote a book with one of them last year called “Looking for Heroes: One Boy, One Year, 100 Letters”). When she is not running kids around, she writes (a new column debuts on WRAL.com Sep. 10) and works as an elder consultant. What is that? Go to: AgingAdvisorsNC.com
