Annelou Perrenoud spent her youth in some of the most picturesque Alpine regions of Switzerland. Growing up through wartime in a “neutral” country made for gentler but no less engrossing adventures. In 1957, she moved with her husband to Denver, Colorado, USA, where she raised her two sons. After a divorce and a twenty-two year career as a massage therapist, she retired to a small mountain town, until the call to be near family brought her to Beaverton, Oregon, where, in her 80’s, she lives a happily busy life.
