 Valentine. She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This one is a close up of my rag doll (yes, that is a breed) cat, Kiwi.


Tell us what's happened to you since high school
(Feel free to tell us THE WHOLE STORY):

I live on the big island of Hawai’i... Over the years I have lived in the San Francisco Bay area, Chicago, Atlanta, South Carolina and Texas.

The kids are grown and have been on their own for quite a while. My son is a musician living in LA and my daughter is a horse trainer for Grand Prix living in Florida. I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and 2 cats. My major interests have not changed much over the years; I still enjoy reading, writing, traveling, photography, gardening, cooking and most of all doing my art.

 

Married? Kids?

Married Wes Davidson on Yasawa Island Fiji, May 2000
Daughter: Jami 7/76
Son: Jay (AKA: Butchy Fuego) 9/77
 

Job/Career?
Most of my career has been involved in non-profit public relations and the arts. When I lived in Chicago I was Director of Public Relations for East-West University. I did restaurant reviews for the Chicago Reader on the side. I opened a cooking school in 2004. I re-discovered a love for ceramic arts in 2001 and went into a University Fine Arts program then. In California I studied and worked at the Walnut Creek Clay Arts Guild and the Berkeley Ceramics Arts Guild. In Hawaii I have a studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I am currently a free lance food and travel writer/photographer.. I contribute regularly to Edible Hawaiian Islands Magazine, Edible East Bay Magazine, Ke Ola Magazine, Honolulu Magazine and Bon Appetit.com. I am working on a novel and always have my hands in clay.
 
Where Do You Live?
 
Hawai'i
 
Which of your classmates are you most curious about?

All of them. I wish more people would update their information here. The 30th reunion was a blast and I am sure the 40th will be too. It is particularly interesting to see what our classmates are doing in life.

Thanks Larry and before that, Mary Jane for all of your hard work on the PHS web site!  And a special thanks to EVERYONE who has helped us locate people. It has been such a joy to be a contact person for the reunion. Every time we find someone new it is so much fun.
