Stripped of PHS junior high VP office due to 2 Warnings turning into 2 Unsatisfactories in citizenship (MY PROTEST DENIED) gave my mother the opportunity she longed for to send me to Anna Head School. Totally unfair, although I loved being brainy, studying hard, not wearing make-up or being distracted by BOYS. Thank you Earl for keeping me in the PHS '62 loop! I survived the first year of the pandemic by doing obsessive repetitive pattern drawings. One of the patterns is named "Paradox." My drawings, either as prints, printed on panels, as greeting cards, and one T-shirt on Zazzle, are collectively named
Pandemic Paradoxes. The paradox is, besides the pattern so named, is that I was listening to the WORST news ever while drawing meditative, relaxing patterns. You can see them at www.snowstudios.com/portfolio_pandemic_paradox.html

Thank you to our new site admins! And for Earl's great work and yearly summaries!

School Story

I had a long life at UC Berkeley: BA Social Welfare 1966; MS in Library and Information Studies 1974; tenured librarian 1981-2006; Distinguished Emerita Librarian 2007. (The Distinguished was in lieu of a 5% merit increase when UCB was broke!) There I launched the first-ever image database on WWW 1994. Life-long visual artist with long exhibition history. See my website www.snowstudios.com. Recently moved out of artist live/work studio into a single family home for the first time, featured on East Bay American Institute of Architects tour 2013 and in Dec. 2014 issue of Diablo Magazine. House is available for small, local reunions!

I agree with Catherine. We've reached the time of apples falling from the trees. We're all getting pretty ripe.

I believe Jerry lived next door to the Piedmont Rec Center. I have a vague recollection of trying to get him to play tennis with me, maybe in the 5th to 7th grades. I also have a vague memory that the new courts and the pool were not in place, but that there might have been one court behind his house or the Rec Center. Maryly

Betsy, thank you for that nice summary of Marylynn. How wonderfully strange to become step-sisters in your adult life! Be well, Maryly Snow

I posted a short video on YouTube of myself explaining my Pandemic Paradox drawings. You might enjoy a 4 minute 19 second diversion...

Steve was a trooper. I remember riding on the back of his scooter. He says we went to Moe's bookstore when we were still in high school. That seemed very adventuresome to me. He liked to expand his boundaries. I believe Steve died of complications from Parkinson's Disease. He had deep tissue brain stimulation to moderate the PD. I didn't realize that the probes are left in the brain. He came to my house for a small gathering about 3 or 4 years ago, walked in 3 little horns. When I had the nerve to ask him about his horns and his PD, he said in conclusion "It's been one helluva ride!"

I painted this picture from a number of snapshots I took when Kathy and I drove to Juniper Campground, high on Mt. Diablo. This picture shows the four peaks of Mt. Diablo -- Eagle Peak, Mt. Olympia, North Peak, and Mt. Diablo. We made it half way to Deer Flat before the weather closed in on us and we headed back to the car. We did not wish to be drenched.

I've having an exhibit of my photographs at the Alameda County Law Library until Dec. 20 of this year, 2016. The Law Library is located at 125 Twelfth Street, Oakland, across from the old white courthouse near Lake Merritt. The exhibit is entitled "Brief Encounters: Meeting Street People." About 150 photos of street people I've met, and know by name, over an 8 year period beginning with the day President Obama was first elected.
