Where have you been? and what
have you been doing? - - - family, school, career, pastimes, good
times, etc.

In short, discovered drugs,
sex, and rock 'n roll when I went to Ohio University after high
school, flunked out, and ran away for the Summer of Love in San
Francisco. I was a relatively good girl in high school but I made up
for it quickly! Moved to Boston in June, '68 and met my first husband
in August. We saved each others' lives, found our callings, and when
Max graduated law school in '77, we moved to Topeka, KS for five
years. Ha! Lived in KS until 2014. We had two kids, Max had two liver
transplants, and died in 1994. I remarried in 1999. We moved to SoCal
when my daughter had twins in 2014. My son and his partner moved here
too! I love it here with mountains in my backyard. I've been an
activist all my life starting back in 7th grade with civil rights
work. Now retired, I spend my time between my five granddaughters and
working my butt off for every progressive cause that needs me.

You’ve come a long way in 55
years. Where are you going in the next five years?
|
I've been an optimist and
believing in the good in people all my life but the last years have
threatened my core beliefs. I hope to spend the years I have left
enjoying the granddaughters and working towards leaving them a world
with climate change under control, gun safety a norm, a woman's right
over her body a given, and less suffering throughout the globe. Oh,
and I hope to be going to some more concerts!
