Personal Passions


        My adopted hometown, Arcata, boasts the first municipal wetland built as part of a sewage treatment system. The marsh, patrolled by numerous herons and hawks, teems with ducks, grebes and shorebirds - and it cleans polluted water so well that the idea has been adopted in communities throughout the U.S. and around the world. I've been leading tours at the marsh since I moved to town in 1994, through Friends of the Arcata Marsh.   I've written several articles about the marsh.

Whenever I can, I get out in a rowing shell on Humboldt Bay. I'm a member of the Humboldt Bay Rowing Association.  When I first joined, the club consisted of a few solo scullers, but it's blossomed in recent years and now has competitive teams for high school kids as well as middle-aged geezers.
                                                                             
        In 1982 I built myself a banjo from a Stewart-MacDonald kit and I've been gradually learning to frail and play melodic clawhammer on it ever since. Now and then I even find someone to jam with me.                                                             
                                                               
                                                                                                     
                                                                                                  
         My daughter Maya came home from China with us in June 2004. She is smart, funny, and much better-looking than her parents.                         
That's me!!
I made that!
My beautiful family!
