![]() ![]() After reading many articles over the years, it seemed an appropriate solution for a newly single woman. The first thing I did was check into Cohousing. Recently, after 42 years of marriage I found myself divorced. I am so proud of my girl, a young woman thriving in a traditional man’s world. She is now happily employed as a Soil Scientist and loves every minute of it. Unlike most artists at the time, I was taken with the World Wide Web and was thrilled to add web page design to my accomplishments.Įmma grew up and attended Iowa State University where she majored in Agronomy with a specialization in Soil and Water Conservation. It was so magical and I jumped in feet first. In 1992, I learned to program HTML from a Dominican Sister at the local convent…there were no books or programs at that time. I continued to paint and started designing jewelry. In 1990 at the age of 39, I gave birth to a magnificent baby girl named Emma. I worked as a graphic artist until 1986, when I quit to pursue abstract painting full time. He also supplied me with wonderful art books and an embarrassment of art materials with which to play.Īfter graduating college, I married Ken Haven and proceeded to get a Graphic Design degree from The Academy Of Art College in San Francisco. I loved to create things right from the get go and was heavily encouraged by my father who, from a young age brought me to museums and galleries all over the world. After graduating I visited San Francisco and decided that was the where I wanted to live forever. I attended an all-women’s college in upstate New York where I doubled majored in Literature and Fine Art. I have lived in Schenectady New York, Roanoke Virginia, Cincinnati Ohio, and back to Westchester, New York during high school. My father worked for General Electric so every six or seven years we moved. Now as a member of the “eComm” team at Wolf Creek Lodge he supports both community systems and those of the individual members. He works a little for his son’s engineering firm and gets volunteered as a computer person by various non-profits. In the summer he rides a mountain bike in the nearby Empire Mine State Park and hikes either locally, in the Grouse Ridge area, on the Sierra Summit or around Lake Tahoe. In the winter months Bob is a ski bum, both downhill and cross country often at Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge. His major contributions were as a manager of software engineers for both large companies and two startups. They have continued to be active Unitarian Universalists now at UUCM in Grass Valley.īob worked in the computer industry in a variety of roles and for companies large and small. There they joined the local Unitarian Universalist congregation. ![]() He and his family moved to the greater Boston area in 1978. He graduated from Glasgow University with a degree in Physics. So far he is the only member of Wolf Creek Lodge to captain his High School cricket team. At the age of eleven he moved to Scotland. BOB M.īob was born in England of an English mother and a Scottish father. (I say I play tennis but those who have seen me do not agree!) I am an accomplished curmudgeon, and I am currently working on an advanced degree in Lollygaging. We enjoy cooking, gardening, and spring wildflowers. We are also looking forward to being intentional good neighbors in our new life. Hence, Wolf Creek Lodge is a perfect compromise-not too far and not too close. Everyone loves California and will never look eastward so it is apparent that if we are to spend any time with our family (as in granddaughter) we must live closer than 2500 miles. We have three sons, one daughter-in-law, one grand grandchild, two grand dogs, and a fluctuating number of grand chickens all of whom live in Oakland. ![]() Nancy and I live on the Eastern Plateau of the Appalachian Mountains in VA. ![]()
