Full Name: Lori Beth Powers

Born: April 14, 1981 in Pensacola, Florida

Major: Public Relations

Hometown: Before moving to Gainesville, I lived in a little city near Pensacola called Milton. Milton is not the city of life and entertainment. Milton is however constantly growing. Unfortunately, due to the amount of business in the small area, even Wal-Mart has closed. However, we do have a bowling alley!!! For entertainment people usually go to Pensacola to movies, clubs, and the beach. My family and friends go boating in Black Water River, Pensacola Bay, and other bodies of water. Also, there is a canoeing and tubing business that people from all over the U.S. come to visit called Adventures Unlimited.
Pensacola houses many military men and women. The Naval Aviation Station is a large naval base where military men and women are trained. There is a branch of this base located in Milton called Whiting Field.

Family: I am the youngest of three children. I have an older sister, Kim. She is a teacher at a middle school in Milton. My older brother, Jason, is married and has two children. He designs and builds boats at a business in Mobile, Alabama. Both Kim and Jason live in a nearby town called Pace.
