Come on in, and welcome to the Lowther Legacy Library.

The Library is a place to preserve and share all things Lowther — a collection of our family’s history, stories, memories, and literary works. I created it with our children, grandchildren, and future generations in mind. In today’s world, creating a virtual library on the Internet just makes sense. It gives us a way to preserve where we came from while making our family’s story available to those who come after us.

The Library also features the Lupus Sucks Esplanade, a special part of the Library devoted to learning more about lupus. The Esplanade will include podcasts, videos, conversations, and other materials as the project develops. It is a place where I hope we can share information, experiences, and ideas that may help others better understand lupus and the challenges it presents.

The Esplanade is still a work in progress, and I invite you to join me as it grows. Take a walk along the Esplanade, watch the videos, explore the information, and, most importantly, participate in the conversation.

I hope you enjoy your visit to the Lowther Legacy Library — and perhaps learn something along the way.
