After years teaching in university classrooms and working as a museum
director, Dr. Lori was inspired to start appraising antiques after an
unexpected encounter with a 75 year old woman. "This woman told me her
story. She had recently sold an historic George Washington document for $50
that was worth $50,000! She said she needed the $50 to pay her electric
bill. When I met her, I thought, this woman could be my mother--anyone could
make that mistake." Dr. Lori says, "That woman's mistake inspired me to
share my education and expertise. So, I do just that presenting over 150
antique appraisal shows and appraising 20,000 objects that audiences bring
me to review every year."
