As a counselor and author of three books, I find I have a savant-like memory for the details of the past and enjoy weaving them into word puzzles.
I was a community leader and counselor for several decades, and have offered numerous lectures to physicians, nurses, and laypeople on coping techniques, facilitated larger community support groups, been recognized by various non-profit health agencies and have produced a national and international newsletter for those who live with chronic health challenge. I also edited a newsletter for undergraduate students at the University of California, San Diego for 14 years and was awarded the ABC Leadership Award.
Although my previous books have been along the lines of “self-help” vehicles, my new memoir is a reflection on an era and time like no other – the 1960s, in a quirky mid-century house and neighborhood, The Eichlers. Before Santa Clara Valley was a hub of concrete and high-end tech companies – and long before Silicon Valley – it was a sleepy valley of orchards, be-bop music, and mischief. Kids learned how to duck-and-cover in elementary school. Later they learned to use the same protective measures in the Vietnam War and during protests. It was a rocky time, but it had the best music -- rock ‘n’ roll -- and we embraced a garden variety of changes in the air.
I now have an active and large following on the Facebook page: Mid-Century Modern Mayhem. The page focuses on reminiscing about the mid-century modern period with retro ads and discussions on music and pop culture.
Writing is my first language and a joy. My articles for magazines and blogs can be found in such publications as CA Modern Magazine, The Eichler Network and N Magazine.
