This is the Season to express gratitude and Love and I would like to express mine to my teachers and the students who have found their way to Pine Mountain or into any of the other classes and events. A special Thank You to the parents who have supported our efforts by their trust and participation in coordinating classes. For Pine Mountain classes that goes to Anne Walsch, Jessica Evans,Meredith Cook and Michelle Russell Delenzi for the last two years and over in Silicon Valley, Lena Plonmonden.Without you, the children would not be able to experience this magical world of Pine Mountain Arts and I would not be able to offer it.
Much gratitude and many heartfelt Thank Yous go also to my neighbors far and wide in the community for sharing your properties and allowing us acess to the natural wonders arround our Region: The Mc Crary family, especially Ludd and his wife Barbara. Brian Dieterich and Steven Otin from CalPoly and Bear from the Swanton Strawberry Farm. I am grateful to the crews at the Cal Fire station for their advice and support of our adventures.
Special thanks also go to unnamed supporters of our educational efforts for sponsoring children at times of economic hardship. I am happy to say that until today no child ever had to miss our classes for financial reasons only.
