picture disc.Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”

Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee or student to feature.

This week, we feature Lynette McKenny, residency coordinator in the department of internal medicine.

Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Lynette:

Lynette McKenny

  • My first job out of school, I was hired by and worked for Mrs. B (Nebraska Furniture Mart founder Rose Blumkin) in the store’s design studio;

  • I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for 20 years. He retired this fall and loves to cook, so I get to come home to a clean house and dinner on the table each evening;

  • I make all of my own greeting cards;

  • We live in a wonderful neighborhood where — when it’s warm — all the neighbors gather each evening on our patio. We share time and meals together for almost every holiday and cake for birthdays. Even neighbors who have moved away come back and join us for the fun;

  • There is a day in June each year when my husband sends me flowers. We have never shared the reason why with anyone. It makes my friends and co-workers very curious and they continue to question me each year as to why the reason I get the flowers.
