Company History

      
Homeschooling began formally for the
      Curry family in 1989. From personal experiences arose Easy Homeschooling.
      In 1994 Lorraine began writing about the method with "helpsheets"
      and the newsletter, Easy Homeschooling Tips & Topics,
      which was published for three years. The next venture was rare antique
      books sold primarily through the email list "First Notice."
      In 1999 the first edition of Easy Homeschooling Techniques was published.
      The third edition was published in 2004. Easy
      Homeschooling Companion was also published in 2004.
      The General edition
      of Techniques was published in 2006. Fields
      with God and Easy
      Homeschooling Curriculum were published in 2007.

      
 

      
 

      
Lorraine Stobbe Curry was born December 7, 1947 in Grand Island, Nebraska.
      She attended Catholic schools in Grand Island and graduated from
      Kearney Catholic High School in 1966. She was a cheerleader,
      class officer and homecoming attendant.

      
She then attended Kearney State College
      (University of Nebraska at Kearney) for a year, after which she
      attended Ringling School of Art in Sarasota FL and Traphagen
      School of Fashion in NYC.

      
After working in the garment industry
      in Los Angeles, she moved to Hawaii in 1970.

      
She sold life insurance and became the
      first female member of her company's President's Cabinet.

      
Lorraine graduated from Maui Community
      College with a degree in apparel design and construction. During
      this time, she worked in garment manufacturing as an assistant
      designer/patternmaker.

      
She returned to Nebraska early in 1980
      and married Andrew Curry Jr. on November 22, 1980 at Abundant
      Life Christian Center in Grand Island, Nebraska. In the early
      1980s she performed concerts at The Rock in Grand Island.

      
Along with writing and illustration,
      Lorraine is interested in home decorating, gardening, scenic
      oil painting and things Italian.

      
Statement of Faith

      
As a young adult on Maui, Lorraine was
      introduced to Jesus Christ through his life-changing Word (the
      Scriptures). The actual transformation happened right after an
      earth tremor, when she was told, "If you really believe
      in Jesus, you don't have to be afraid of anything." She
      envisioned Jesus on the cross dying specifically for her and
      was born again. She then began studying
      the Scriptures and faith came, as those same Scriptures say it
      will (Romans 10:17). She has learned that God's word is true
      by "putting it to the test,"- by standing on it alone
      in the past for serious physical needs as well as seeing God
      provide for her daily needs and desires. Lorraine
      says, "What God says, I believe. That is my Statement of
      Faith."
