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!
