About



I am a retired community health nurse, native San Franciscan, who has recently moved to a ridge on Mt. Tamalpais overlooking Mill Valley.  (The photo I chose to don my profile is of a Western Screech Owl, one of my beloved neighbors who calls to me too infrequently at night.)    I’ve been intensely interested in neighborhood, adolescent wellness, education and environmental affairs most of my adult life.   I have recently been organizing within the Jewish Community on behalf of Bay Area Jewish teens.  My proudest achievements are having successfully founded a health and wellness collaborative with dedicated Washington High School students and staff to obtain $500,000 in state funds  in 1997.  In 1986, I was instrumental in founding an all San Francisco middle school community service program.  My most constructive positive vengeance against the current administration has been  to install solar panels on two homes and to work actively with the election protection community, specifically in the area of voter education around  electronic voting machines in partnership with Women Donors Network, a progressive circle of progressive women donor activists who daily inspire me. 

 

I have recently read two books by Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and Naomi Wolfe, The End of America: A Letter to a Young Patriot.  Both these books have helped me to deepen and broaden my understanding of the current state of affairs on our planet.  Besides my literacy volunteering and being an envrionmental volunteer educator always with a deep awareness our planet's deepening crisis, I spend my days considering the next best step to take to leverage my small personal resources on behalf of positive change.  I am fortunate to have a loving partner/husband, four right-living adult children all in the Bay Area and three beautiful, healthy grandchildren.  I take very seriously my obligation to them, their peers and those yet unborn in informing my life's journey. 


 

Respectfully entere, January 3, 2008.
