Meet some Lowlanders!
“Lowlanders,” as subscribers of Lowlands-L like to be called,
gather electronically from around the globe—hundreds
of them.
Why, some of them were even born and raised as Highlanders!
But on
Lowlands-L everyone is an equally valued member of the
Lowlands community.
Meet some of these Lowlanders by clicking on their names below!
These are some of our many “non-lurking” Lowlanders, members that frequent the “Speakers’ Corner,” some more than others. However, you do not need to go public to be a Lowlander.
If you join, you are free to “lurk,” to stay in the shadows of silent anonymity. Whatever your choice, we will welcome
you warmly.
