I grew up in Jamestown, New York, near Lake Chautauqua. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time walking through the beautiful old neighborhoods. I was fascinated by the architecture of all the houses, and the glimpses of different lives I would catch through the windows. I think that’s why I became a realtor.
Jamestown was also the hometown of Lucille Ball, and when I was a young girl, I remember watching her come down Main Street on a float.
I went to Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where I got degrees in literature and philosophy. While in Ohio, I yearned for water, missing the lake I grew up on. So I headed west for the sun and the water.
I first came to Berkeley as part of an Antioch work-study semester, when I worked on Center Street. After college I spent 4 years in San Diego, then came north to the East Bay in 1974. |
