Day 17

To Annie's Corporate to have a tour and talk with Susan Harvey '84 Reeves.

Fantastic.

Then, lunch in Berkeley with noneother that the rediscovered TRINKA HOMMELL '82!   Trinka totally surprised me with an email the night before - I had not been able to find Trinka for some time, and had just been talking about her with Rosemarie Braegger recently.  I was so happy to hear from her (and thought I might actually have frightened her with my enthusiasm!).  She lives right in Berkeley and met us for lunch!  

After lunch in Berkeley, it was a zip back into the city to meet the wonderful Juliana Sloane '06.  (more soon)

Dinner in San Fran with Karen Hannah '89 - another surprise find in the area!

Day 15

First real dive into San Fran.  Over the bridge we go to meet first with Emily Drennen '95 for coffee!  Thanks Emily!  Great stories of getting to CA via Hawaii and Alaska.  More to come on this conversation....(and DRAT we forgot to take picture - we were probably too cold to get the camera out!)

Later, more coffee (!) and great visit with Ruth Scotti '99 in Emeryville (back over the bridge).

Pics and stories to follow.  Thanks Ruth - I'm still blown away by our conversation and you.

Day 14 - the tremendously hospitable welcome from Susan Harvey '84 Reeves, Douglas and Rylie!

Day 14



To San Francisco, and nearby town of Albany, to be kindly hosted by Susan Harvey '84 Reeves, and husband Douglas and daughter Rylie in their home for dinner.  So nice to be in a home, and the best dinner of the entire trip!  What great and interesting folks - a beautiful family.  More to say....
