I've been living in Mountain View for the last 30 plus years. I went to SRJC and transferred to SF State, but never pursued work in my major of Journalism. I married my husband Maarten in 1981 (still married!).

My kids (now 22 and 28) live within an hours drive of us, and we have a very happy life. I have kept in touch with a few close friends from SRHS - Caitlin Campbell, Susan Barber, Kathy Sherak and Patrice Veneziano. I don't visit Santa Rosa anymore - it has changed so much, and I prefer to keep it unchanged in my memory. Best to all!!
