I’m an Easterner who came to California sixty years ago to attend graduate school and stayed to have a career as a school librarian. I love opera, writing, cooking, knitting, good books, and am happy to be a part of this church.

I have attended FPCSA since about 1995 . Having earned degrees at San Jose State and Golden Gate University, I spent 50+ years as a recognized expert in several facets of human subject research protection programs. Many were as president of my own company. My fourth attempt at retiring has been mostly successful. Current activities involve family, friends, travel, reading and doing church things.

From Pittsburgh and retired from jobs in medical and special education fields, I now find my days packed full of volunteer challenges. I enjoy the process of gardening, painting and crafting. I delight in pampering my neighbor's cat, and traveling.

I am a SF Bay Area native and San Anselmo is my home. I am a veterinarian and I love running, gardening, and spending time with my family.

Executive Director at The Street Chaplaincy, I earned a B.A. from Duke University and a Master of Divinity from San Francisco Theological Seminary. In San Francisco, I served as Multi-Cultural Minister at Good News Presbyterian Church. Cycling, travel, and helping build beloved community are among my joys!

I grew up in Connecticut, graduated from college in New York in 1968, moved to California in 1975, and went to nursing school. I worked as a bilingual Spanish public health nurse, mostly in San Francisco. I joined First Presbyterian about ten years ago. Now I live at the Redwoods retirement community and maintain my garden.

From the midwest (Michigan and Chicago), I have lived in Marin for over 10 years and have been part of FPCSA almost as long. I work as an anti-poverty advocate at a local nonprofit and as a spiritual director. Our family lives in San Rafael. I enjoy cheese, our local film festival, being outside in all sorts of ways, and family game nights.

I grew up in Massachusetts and on the Connecticut shore. After graduating from the University of Connecticut, I moved to San Francisco and then Marin. Now retired, I spend my spare time gardening, hiking, swimming and spending time with friends.

I served on the board of Tam House, providing homes for 20 seniors in San Anselmo, for nearly 20 years. I became a member of FPCSA in 2004, inspired by the community’s compassion and grappling with social justice issues. Our family joy is a recent grandson.

I have lived in Marin and been a member of this congregation for many years and have served on Session several times. The work of this congregation is important to me.

Retired after working 35 years at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Elder on the Resources Committee, Buildings and Grounds Team Leader, and choir member. Married to Marita Mayer with two children and four grandchildren.

I am a professional actor, originally from Michigan, who’s kept the best of Calvinism and Methodism in my journey. I grow lots of tomatoes, swim, and am filled with wonder by the night sky.

I am a lifelong San Anselmo resident and recently retired. Singing in the choir and hiking the Marin hills are things I am enjoying. Carol and I have been married since 1990. Our daughter Elizabeth is also a member of the church.

Born in Northern Ireland, I spent forty-five years in Elementary School education as a teacher, then school principals on three continents! Since retirement, with my husband Ralph, I am engrossed in golfing, local theater, entertaining friends, and traveling. Additionally, I delight in creating flower arrangements for services.
