Member, At Large, Nancy Werlein
Hi Neighbors!
My name is Nancy Werlein. My husband, Al Kent and I have owned our home on West Lakeview Avenue for 34 years. I was born in this neighborhood and lived here with my family in the 1950's and 1960's. I attended Frank Allis Elementary School, Sennett Middle School, and graduated from LaFollette HS in 1975. After earning my degree from UW-Madison, I taught Elementary Education in the Madison Public Schools until my retirement in 2012.
Al and I enjoy participating in a wide variety of activities and hobbies including reading, gardening, and watching the birds in our big backyard. I like to sew and make beeswax candles. Al keeps bees and makes honey. We like to travel the world and volunteer our time whenever possible. We have 1 collie dog, Charlie, and a rescue cat named Annie. We also keep chickens in our yard

Member, At Large, Trent Halverson
Hello neighbors! I have lived in the Lake Edge neighborhood since buying my house on Buckeye Rd. in 2008, and have been an east-sider since graduating from the UW in the mid 80’s. As a Realtor, I encounter and deal with the issues that are important to LENA as well as the broader community on a daily basis. Now that the kids are off living their own lives, I’m happy to have a little more time for community involvement and am pleased to have been chosen to be on the LENA board!
