Comments:

Since 1969, I've lived in Portland, OR (with a brief hiatus in Boston '72-74). Practiced law until 1991, when my daughter was born.

The arts, diversity and inclusion organizations and Oregon's natural beauty keep me healthy, active and spiritually connected.

Traveling continues to be exciting and heartwarming. Long visits to Europe, Mexico and Paraguay have informed my world view.

I live in gratitude.

I was very fortunate to have spent my childhood and college years in Detroit.

Mumford memories:

Skipping school. ?

Wonderful (and life-long) friendships.
Driver’s training.
The Drama of teenager-hood!

Susie was my first friend at Vernor. We had wicked fun!  We lived around the block from one another, and often walked to school together. Susie had a wonderful sense of humor, and I remember her fondly. RIP.

Many, many memories of Dawn's year at Mumford. We shared many interests. Dawn educated me about the anti-apartheid movement, and was an important influence in my life. She had a wonderful sense of humor!  Sad to learn of her passing. Glad for cherished memories.

Happy Birthday, Betty. So many happy memories! (I am forever grateful that your mother bribed me with a quarter to stop biting my nails.). Wishing you happiness and health.
