I've had an entire life since then. My memories of Redwood are about the size of my history class (take that any way you like), square-dancing in PE, playing the part of one leaf of a four leaf clover in a play at the end of my senior year which oddly is where I finally met the people I liked the most at Redwood, endless summer days on Stinson Beach, and the critical "firsts".

I've had two husbands, two careers: retained executive search and a very interesting few years in the Senior Executive Service for the federal government overseas in Iraq. Most recently, some interesting consulting assignments in the Middle East and a close brush with the spy world.

I've restored a few homes, the latest is in Pittsburgh, PA where I now live. A previous one was a historic apple farm in Sebastopol, CA -- high fire area. It rains here in PA. Very nice. Winters not too bad. Lots of family. So I'm getting used to a new environment, finding ways to continue to be useful and do good in the world.

Besides that, I paint with oils, love to hang out in the vegetable garden.. just like Marlon Brando... a few precious pearls of wisdom still fall from my lips whenever someone is listening.

Which school? I've been to so many - I was an Air Force brat. When I was four we lived in England and I went to one room of a two room school house. This is where I wet my pants while singing Johnny Appleseed and they were hung to dry on the rail in front of the fireplace at the front of the classroom. Then it was an English religious school of some sort with nun like creatures that tortured the children. Then Omaha, Sacramento, Connecticut... Redwood.

Franklin College in Switzerland, University of Bordeaux in France, and I graduated from USF.
