Residents
In addition to serving as an office and retreat facility for the Fraternity, staff members have resided at Lyrecrest from time to time. During the 1990s, Scott B. Sanders, then serving as director of publications and alumni affairs, occupied a bedroom in the “south wing” area of the ground level behind the room that served as his office. Chapter consultants Roger White and Jim Johnson shared a room nearby to the rear of the wing (although both of whom spent a great deal of time on the road due to the nature of their work). Ryan Ripperton lived at Lyrecrest North when initially hired at Lyrecrest in 1999, followed by then-retreat coordinator Jeremy Evans in 2002. After Evans, his successor, Sean Leno, occupied the property from 2003 to 2005, followed by Jared Ivory (2005-2006), Matthew Downing (2006-2007), and Jared Madison (2007-2008). In addition, Barry Magee’s dog stayed on the property in the early 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the word residents:
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
