Kelly Flemming from Langlois made the Atlantic Magazine .. which makes her WORLD FAMOUS!

How Two Young Hippie Friends Grew Up to Live Very Different Lives

Each installment of The Friendship Files features a conversation between The Atlantic’s Julie Beck and two or more friends, exploring the history and significance of their relationship.

This week she speaks with two women who grew up in the hippie counterculture of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Stephanie Blank dated Kelly Fleming’s brother while attending an alternative high school, then followed him to Mexico where she met Kelly and the rest of the family, who were living on a converted school bus while they traveled around. The romance didn’t last, but Stephanie’s friendship with Kelly did, even as they grew up and their lives took very different paths.

The Friends:

    Stephanie Blank, 65, a writer and the owner of a home-accessory business, who lives in Marina del Rey, California
    Kelly Fleming, 63, a fiber artist and substitute teacher who lives in Langlois, Oregon
