When they met through Concerned Singles, Lance lived in eastern Oregon and Jennifer lived seven hours distant in central Washington. They started corresponding (by real mail!) in the summer of 1990 and first talked by phone that fall. They came face to face for the first time when Lance came to Jennifer's house in Ellensburg. "I walked out the road to meet him," she says.

It only took them a couple of months to decide that being together was more important than which end they lived at.They moved in together in January 1991 and were married on February 29, 1992.

Jennifer is the nonprofit director and organizer of SolWest Renewable Energy Fair. She is also a solar chef, and has written two whole-foods cookbooks. She admits she wouldn't have done any of this without Lance's encouragement and support. For his part, with Jennifer's encouragement, he's become a well-known gardener in a place where everyone thinks "you can't grow anything." He's also a licensed solar electrician, and Jennifer helps him with his solar business.

Together, they run Morning Hill Forest Farm, where their goal is "to integrate sustainable forestry with renewable energy use, low-impact living, appropriate technology, and home production of high-quality food into a whole-life sustainable living system." It's quite remarkable to compare the picture of them on the Morning Hill website with the picture they sent us for the Concerned Singles Twenty-Fifth Birthday Album!

Home Power magazine calls Jennifer and Lance "postmodern pioneers."

As Jennifer says, "The synergy of what two creative people dedicated to  improving our world can do together proves that one plus one equals way more than two!"
