I spent my early childhood in Stockton, later young years on a ranch outside of
Clements, and then back to Stockton for about 50 years. I have always
loved Calaveras County, and feel lucky to have a home here now. I am
married, with an extended blended family. My son Jon and his family live
in Arnold, which greatly enhances my affection for this area.

I am an attorney and law professor, and recently retired from active practice
and teaching. I still do some consulting. My work and community
activities have kept me very busy over the course of my career, but of course
retirement reduced the demands on my time. I decided to take drawing and
watercolor classes in the OLLI program at UOP last fall, under the guidance of
instructor Deanna Hunt. She and my wonderful old and new friends in the
classes greatly inspired me to embrace the creative process, and now I like to
paint almost every day. Although I am a beginner, I hope it is never too
late to learn, and that I can continue to develop my skills and
appreciation.
“Art washes away
from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Picasso
