Proceeds from this event will support the exemplary work of Legal Assistance for Seniors, which is the only organization in Alameda County offering free legal services exclusively to seniors in the areas of Guardianship, Elder Abuse, Consumer Law, Health Law, and Immigration. In addition to legal services, LAS houses Alameda County's Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) and offers a strong community education and outreach program that reaches close to 10,000 residents each year. To fund these services, LAS relies on support from private sources, including individual and corporate donors, to provide vital assistance to some of the most vulnerable residents of our community.

50th Reunion
I have been a lawyer in California since 1978, living and working in Oakland where I own a 101-year-old house which is lovely but a lot of work. I helped to bring up a child who is now 31 living in New York, and am active in St. Mark’s Episcopal church in Berkley, studying for a Certificate of Theological Studies at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. My travels have included China, England, France, Mexico, and New Zealand, and I hope to do more if I can ever get myself completely retired; I’ve worked three days a week for 21⁄2 years.

2004 Reunion
Notes of my life: Interesting jobs with War on Poverty and Jobs Corp Center, before law school in the 70's.
Current activities: Has been in the field of Elder Law in Oakland, California since the field emerged in the early 80's. Active in the St. Marks Episcopal Church of Berkeley.
Plans for the future: Retire in ‘06
Memories from Lawrence High days: Editing the paper and helping write the class prophesies and wondering how many predictions came true. The 4th of July fireworks at KU stadium.
