WALLACE, Marc Fleming beloved father, husband, faithful friend, died July 28, 2000 at his home in Salem, South Carolina. He was 68, and succumbed from complications of lung cancer and emphysema. Marc was born February 17, 1932 at St Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara, to Justine "Noni" Wallace and Glenn Irving Wallace, a Santa Barbara High School teacher and eventually Chief Probation Officer of Santa Barbara County. Marc attended local elementary schools and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1948. He attended UCSB on the Riviera. As a member and eventual president of Sigma Pi fraternity, he laughingly recalled a late night hazing prank that left him blindfolded, barefoot, and alone at the top of Old San Marcos Pass Road. He was not concerned, because he'd roamed the hills and trails of the county as a youth. He laughed at the dismay of his fraternity brothers when he showed up in town less than two hours later. Marc graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 1953 and soon joined the Army. As a corporal, he was based in Germany and served until 1955. He subsequently served eight years in the Army Reserves. On Feb. 13, 1956, Marc began what ultimately would be a 36-year career with United Airlines. He married Norine Foley the same year. His intelligence, trustworthiness, work ethic and drive sent him quickly up the corporate ladder and across the United States. During his career, he was based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland and Denver. As a Regional Vice President, he was in charge of, at various times, UAL operations and employees in most U.S. states, Canada, Mexico and South America. At one time he was in charge of United's worldwide cargo operations. His employees once honored him with a plaque thanking him for his "exemplary leadership, character and integrity," traits not always found in the upper echelons of the corporate world. Once, when told that the airline would not pay for a party for station employees in Cancun, Mexico, Marc paid for the large celebration out of his own pocket. One of his assistants, Vicki Bretthauer, said Marc was "the first person I ever met who never saw race or gender, just the person before him. He selected wisely to build his team and network of support. He always guided." Marc retired from UAL in 1991. He and his wife, Patt, moved to their "dream home" in Salem, South Carolina in 1993. With their "No Philistines" sign at the front door, they threw legendary parties, especially at Halloween. At one, the 6-foot, 3-inch Marc greeted guests in only his tux jacket and bicycle shorts, citing the "semi-formal" dress code. Marc and Patt were celebrating 25 years of marriage this year. Although a Californian by birth, he lived in retirement as a true Southern gentleman. His visiting children frequently heard the phrase, "We think the world of him," from friends and local shop keepers. His death came too soon. But he was surrounded by his son, wife, friends and caregivers, Rachel and Jurriel, and loving Hospice of the Foothills nurses when he flew to higher skies on July 28. His passing leaves an unimaginable void. He was preceded in death by his parents. Marc is survived by his wife, Patricia (Patt) Overly Wallace, of Salem, S.C.; his children, Matthew Garrett and Nora Kathleen, the mother of his children, Norine Foley Wallace and his step-mother, Barbara Casey Wallace, all of Santa Barbara; his stepson Scott Overly Hurst, his wife Marva, their son Spencer Hogan Hurst and Marva's children Megan and Emilee, all of Kingsport, Tenn.; his cousin, Bill Fletchner, wife Nancy and children Brian and Amy, of Portland, Oregon; and his caregiver and laughing companion, Rachel Bath of Walhalla, S.C. Marc will be remembered for his sense of humor, sly grin, true compassion, the way he used a pen (without error) on the New York Times crossword puzzles, his intelligence (with unparalleled vocabulary), his constant application of Chapstick, his eclectic taste in music, great sense of fairness, and the love he gave to his family and friends. A memorial service was held August 2 in Salem. A celebration of Marc's life will be held in September in Santa Barbara. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Foothills, 390 Keowee School Rd., Seneca, SC 29672 or United We Care (which helps UAL employees in need), the Marc F Wallace Memorial, United Airlines, WHQPR, Box 66100, Chicago, IL 60666. PRAUL, Richard E 85, of Stanwood, WA died July 28, 2000. He will be missed by his daughter, Christine, his son, Martin, four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Later he had his own news agency covering the Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission for papers in Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, New York and San Francisco.

Having lived in three centuries, she recounted stories of her young life during the time of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1914). She first came in 1921 to Texas with her husband and two children. One year later, now with a third child, they made their way to Santa Barbara via train. They lived here until 1931, when the family sold their house at 709 Bond Avenue and voluntarily returned to Mexico. (These were particularly difficult years for citizens and non-citizens alike, since the "Great Crash" of the stock market in 1929 and the resulting Depression caused great privation at every level.)

When she was 10 years old she began hand-grinding on the "metate" a flat grinding stone, every day at first light. She never drank nor smoked. She loved to work in the garden. Many of the plants in her garden were used in traditional remedies for herself and her family. She cooked her own meals until 1995. She was still very sharp-witted and very clear-minded to the end.. She was very grateful for all that is given to us in our lives, and prayed for all her family daily.

SPENCE, Fred E 91, inventor and dental technician, passed away on the morning of February 27, 1999 at his home in Culver City, after a long battle with cancer. He was horn in Santa Barbara, California on February 17, 1908 to a hard working gardener, Frederick C Spence and his wife Lucy. Their generosity of good meals for many in Santa Barbara, especially during the Depression made their humble abode a popular place. His gifts and interest in science and things mechanical were demonstrated early as a young child. He built a crystal radio and climbed one of the tall trees near his family's house to hang the simple wire antenna needed to make it work. He figured out how to make the coil from a Model T Ford generate sparks outside of the car which scared many of his mother's chickens. Around the age of 12 he went off to Sacramento for his drivers license and managed to dismantle and reassemble a Model T Ford. Given a 22 rifle as a young boy and his fear of snakes, he probably single handedly caused a severe decline in the local rattlesnake population. Frustrated by the limited opportunities in Santa Barbara and concerned about the demands on his parents raising 6 younger siblings he set out for Los Angeles to make something of himself. Staying with relatives he eventually found work with a dentist, Dr Beverly B McCollum, one of the pioneers in Gnathology, the study of the mechanics of the mouth. His abilities, especially his gifts with his hands, became readily apparent and he was encouraged to learn the skills of a dental technician. When he became more financially secure, and still having an interest in automobile, he bought a racecar and supported the early career of the quietly legendary driver, Rajo Jack. While working for Dr McCollum he greatly assisted the development of two important dental instruments, one measured the motions of the jaw and teeth and the other reproduced these motions. Blessed with incredibly good teeth himself, he was often the guinea pig for testing them. He learned much and was inspired to figure out how to simplify these instruments. After meeting his wife, Lisa, and with her support and encouragement he pursued this interest. With the assistance of engineer/machinist Ed Bowen he designed the Spence Articulator and Facebow transfer devices for which he received a U S patent. He practiced and perfected his techniques while working for several West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills dentists, notably Dr Charles Pincus and Dr Everitte V Payne. He eventually established his own dental laboratory, the Spence Dental Lab, specializing in full mouth reconstructive dentistry. He is survived by and greatly missed by his son, Charles F Spence, brother Douglas and sisters, Teresa and Carmateta. He will be fondly remembered for his warmth, strength and supporting his family as best he knew how. God bless him and watch over his soul. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the St John's Cancer Center, Santa Monica, California.

Kenneth Ziegler, who is both his business manager and close friend, says of Liebengood, "Don's perseverance and attention to detail, when combined with his adherence to high personal values is an excellent example of how someone can achieve the American dream. Our community and country are far better off because of his presence." He was an active participant in Santa Barbara civic activities.

ARNOLD, Marshall E 1922 - 1999 Marshall E Arnold was born in the state of Connecticut on December 20, 1922 and left this earth on March 25, 1999. One of the first things a new acquaintance learned about Marshall was his pride in his New England heritage. He attended local schools in Connecticut and after high school moved to Boston, MA and graduated from Boston School of Fine Arts. Marshall followed a career in the theater in Los Angeles, CA. He sometimes joked that he couldn't get any important roles on the stage or screen because he looked like Henry Fonda. He worked many years for Ingram Industries in the Los Angeles area. He was a veteran of two branches of the Armed Forces, the Army and the Navy, serving during World War II in the Pacific Theater on Guam. He was a cook for the US Navy and told tales of preparing massive meals for his shipmates. Marshall preferred being called "Buddy", a name that suited him well. He loved his many friends and they loved him. We could always count on a warm friendly smile from Buddy whether he was a patient in the hospital or across the dinner table. During his retirement years from Ingram Industries, he lived in Santa Barbara, CA, the adopted city of his mother and father who along with a sister, predeceased Buddy. He is survived by cousins and a niece and nephew in Connecticut. He was a member of the SPOT dinner club and entertained us with stories of the theater and his adventurous past. None of us will forget his pleasure consuming large portions of Mud Pie with extra chocloate sauce at his favorite restaurant on numerous birthday celebrations. Dear Buddy, your happy disposition, your appreciation of tiny favors, and your exuberance for life will live in our hearts. And now one final time, as we used to say as we parted after our dinners together, "Say Good night Buddy". We will miss you.

RIOS, Severiano C B Nov 8, 1916 - April 23, 1999 Our Dad is at rest with Our Heavenly Father, the angels, saints, and those in our family who preceded him; most recently his brother, Inez Alvarado and the love of his life, Lipa. Our dad was known to his family as "Tio C B" and to others as "compadre." Many knew him as a compassionate, humble, and humorous friend who was loyal and generous - he always had time to help. C B was born in Cueramaro, Guanajuato, Mexico to Leon and Prajedes Rios. The family immigrated to California when he was three years old, settling finally in Santa Barbara where he attended local schools. He often fondly recalled memories of family life on Olive Street and in Goleta in the good old days. How many of you remember rides in his Model A Ford, Oldsmobile, Mercamatic, Ford Truck or Toyota? Wasn't it wonderful? C B was always there with his great smile and was always willing to offer a helping hand. When Felipa Hernandez, from Bakersfield, met him in Goleta she couldn't resist him. They were married on June 18, 1944, at St Barbara's Old Mission. He loved his many nieces, nephews, and god-children who felt they had lost him when he married Lipa, but he surprised them. He added to the clan and there were more to love; Louis P Rios, Cecilia C Rios (Smith), Gerard M Rios, and Gerianne R Rios (Ramirez). Life went on and life was good, because it was simple. The grandchildren and great grandchildren are now the bearers of his name and the vessels of his integrity, wisdom and strength: Loretta Rios (Stocker), Lucia Rios, Lia Ramirez, Makoa Rios, Steven Ramirez, Cielo Rios, and Kelly Smith are his grandkids; Cody Stocker and Rebecca Costello are his great grandkids. He always had a special place in his heart for his sons, daughter and grandsons-in-law, Arthur Ramirez, Gary Smith, Roberta Smith, Ernie Stocker and Chad Thomas Rosario, Jeff Bass, Paula Wilson, Guy and the Buena Vista Boxing Fans, the Visiting Nurses Association, and Hospice will always be remembered by us because they took the time to care. Remember him by being helpful, humble, generous, loving, and compassionate, and remember to dance with those you love. Now he and his beloved wife, Felipa will be dancing for an eternity. Rosary will be held Thursday, 4/29/99, at 7:00 pm, at the Old Mission. Mass will be Friday, at 10:00 am at the Old Mission. Interment will follow at Santa Barbara Cemetery.

SHIELDS, Eloise Margaret was born on November 10, 1917 in Kansas City, Missouri and left this earthly life from Santa Barbara, California on April 26, 1999. Eloise was the younger daughter of Arthur L Henson, an osteopathic physician, and Elsie Grant Henson, a children's author. As a child, Eloise attended Kansas City schools, whose educational system she valued highly. She took elocution and piano lessons and was active in youth church volunteer projects. Before owning a car, the family enjoyed streetcar rides to the edge of town for picnics and nature walks. Early in life, Eloise developed a love of flowers and nature. She grew up strong-willed, very bright and equally curious. Those traits led to living several lives simultaneously, which she easily wove into a colorful, satisfying tapestry. Eloise's life as a student took her to Kansas State Teachers College, for a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and to the State University of Iowa, where she received a Masters of Arts degree in Child Psychology. In 1938 she launched her career life as a teacher in Lawrence, Kansas. Life as a wife and mother began in 1940, when Eloise married Charles Robert Shields. A daughter was born in 1941 and a son in 1944. During World War II, Eloise worked in a candy factory and later as a handler of black widow spider webs (used for bombsight "hairlines" in fighter planes). After the war her family was transferred to Hawthorne, CA. Eloise soon returned to work part-time, managing a vending machine route and being a puppeteer. But her career life was somewhat unfulfilled until 1952, when she became a school psychologist for Lawndale and then Torrance school districts for a total of 24 years. In 1976, she received an Outstanding School Psychologist for Southern California award. In the 1960's Eloise added a part-time career as a para-psychological (ESP) research scientist, consultant, counselor, author, speaker, and educator. In 1977, Eloise and Charlie began retirement life in Carpinteria, CA. The years were filled with friends, clubs, committees, classes, and traveling nationally and internationally. After 16 trips across America, they earned recognition in the Guinness Book of Records (1994 - 96) for visiting 370 U S National Parks. Eloise even found time to teach ESP through Santa Barbara's Adult Education. Widowed in 1995, Eloise continued serving on committees, being active in clubs, enjoying nature, and gardening in her patio. In 1996 she hosted a dedication of the Charles and Eloise Shields Family Grove in Humboldt Redwoods, along the Avenue of the Giants in northern California. Eloise's main interest remained traveling, and she did that as often as possible with family members. Her most recent trip was to Monterey Peninsula, CA, where she hosted an 8-day extended family reunion for Christmas, 1998. Eloise's biggest challenge was a battle with cancer. With relatively little disruption to her active lifestyle until her last year, Eloise triumphed over breast cancer without chemotherapy or radiation for over 13 years. Eloise is survived by a daughter, Jo Ann Shields Knappenberger and her husband, Albert; a son, Charles Richard Shields, and his bride, Amporn; granddaughters, Beth Knappenberger and Deralyn Knappenberger; newly adopted grandchildren, Anya Shields and Lucas Shields; and a great granddaughter, Lily Knappenberger. Eloise is wished well on her journey but shall be missed by family and friends. Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels, 15 East Sola Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, are handling arrangements.

Throughout his life, he gave tirelessly of his time and energies to others with his hands and with his insights. Carl relished in feelings of community that emerged in group work. He is sorely missed. A memorial service to celebrate Carl's life will be held at 11 AM, Saturday, May 8 at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 820 North Fairview Avenue in Goleta.

Serving aboard Naval supply vessels in the Pacific during WWll, he survived kamikaze attacks to his ship, actively supported coastal forces and combat troops at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and The Philippines.

After retirement from a life at sea, he dedicated himself to his wife and soulmate, Thelma. Relocating to the Yucca Valley and Las Vegas, they enjoyed a quiet life together far from the siren call of seafaring life.

Throughout his years in Santa Barbara, Jimmy's idea of the perfect day was a double-header at MacKenzie Park watching Pony Baseball with a hot dog in one hand and a scorebook in the other. Even in his last months of failing health, he remained keenly interested in the progress of his favorite young ballplayers. Jimmy had great affection for all the local baseball players and their families, as well as his many devoted friends in Las Vegas. He had patience for everything but pretense. Jimmy's favorite restaurant was Esau's. Favorite team: Dodgers Miller Lite or Corona or whatever you had handy. Crumb donuts. Pizza. Crossword puzzles. The American Legion. "Tiger" and "Partner". Epitaph: Behold and see as you pass by, as you are now so once was I; As am now so you must be; Prepare for death and follow me.

In 1951 he moved to Los Angeles, CA and while studying for the Bar, he worked for Lockheed Aircraft. He began practicing law in 1952 in Los Angeles where he became a partner in the law firm of Fitzpatrick & Wiley, and practiced before the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in Washington, DC. He handled cases before the California Supreme Court and the California Court of Appeal. He was admitted to the US District Court, Central District of California. Once Chet was cited for contempt of court in a real estate case he was arguing when he refused to hand over original documents to the Judge. This was reversed on appeal in Oksner vs Superior Court of Los Angeles in a landmark decision in which it was held that a judge cannot enforce an order he has no jurisdiction to make. In 1973 he moved to Santa Barbara and was associated with the law firm of Brazelton, Clifford, Smith & Oksner. From 1977 to 1980, Chet was a founding partner in the law firm of Samuelson & Oksner in Santa Barbara with Peter Samuelson. During those years he also began exercising his creative aesthetics by designing and building three unique homes on Dover Hill Road on the Riviera. In 1980, Chet retired from the practice of law so that he and his wife Dorothy could embark on the adventure of a lifetime. They sailed their 42-foot sloop, the Tempest, from Ft Lauderdale, FL through the Bahamas to Venezuela, through the Panama Canal and up to Santa Barbara accompanied by their dog Susie. Upon returning from their cruise in 1982, Chet began his life long dream of writing full time. Prior to the publication of his first novel, he and wife Dorothy set out on their second cruise on a new 46-foot pilothouse cutter-rigged sloop, also named Tempest, from San Pedro, CA to Annapolis, MD. When ready for land-lubing again they sold the boat in Annapolis and drove to Maine where they designed and built a house in West Bath, and lived there for eight years. In addition to designing homes and being a gifted oil painter, Chet was revered as a masterful author of the legal thriller genre. His first novel, Punitive Damage, published in 1987 by William Morrow, received glowing reviews, and attorney Melvin Belli called his second novel, Burdens of Proof, published in 1989, by Knightsbridge, a classic. His work-in-progress, I Killed Bobby Kennedy, was being readied for publication at the time of his death.

He also served as a volunteer for many years in the Palliative Care Unit at Montreal General Hospital.

He also loved a good mystery and an exciting soccer match. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Phyllis, daughter Ann and her husband Terry Staten, and his two grandsons Tim and Philip.

In his wake he has left a legacy of love, laughter and a spirit of adventure that will echo in the hearts of those he loved forever. The metaphor for John's life was always the sea that he loved so much. From it he made his living, his friends and his life. More than just a surfboard shaper, John was an artisan, handcrafting each of his surfboards with the care and expertise of a true master. A life long underground shaper in the Santa Barbara surfing scene, his boards were sought out by local surfers and elite international champions alike not only for their innovative designs, but also for their sense of aesthetic beauty. When it came to his art, John achieved a perfection. As a friend, he achieved a perfection as well. His easy laugh, his kind eyes, his natural compassion and his innate generosity made for a life worth living. John lived well and loved well, and his friends might think of him now, basking in the sun on a beautiful beach, his surfboard at his side, close to the sound and the sight of a perfect wave folding itself over a pristine reef the way he folded his heart around ours.

Crombie Taylor, who led the Institute of Design in Chicago to its greatest achievements and who also initiated the first restoration of a Louis Sullivan building, died at his home in Santa Barbara on May 23, 1999 of congestive heart failure. Born in Oakmont, PA in 1914, Taylor studied architecture at Penn State and Princeton. As assistant director and then director of the Institute of Design from 1946 to 1954, Taylor expanded enrollment sixfold, recruited leading practitioners to the faculty, including Konrad Wachsman and Harry Callahan, and championed the use of advanced technology in building and teaching. In private practice, Taylor designed a series of award-wining residences and public buildings widely celebrated for their simplicity and elegance. In the late l950s, Taylor undertook the first restoration of Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Building, a seminal building in the development of the Chicago or Prairie school of architecture. Taylor discovered and reproduced the long-forgotten polychromatic stencils that Sullivan used to create spatial illusions on interior walls and ceilings. Taylor's restoration of the Auditorium Building interiors and his 1968 Smithsonian Institution exhibit on Sullivan's stencils revolutionized thinking about the origins of modern American architecture. In 1962 Taylor became associate dean for architecture at the University of Southern California, where he again recruited nationally prominent faculty and developed new programs in urban design and building science. An accomplished architectural photographer, Taylor developed automated, multi-screen and very large scale slide programs for classroom teaching. His programs on Chicago skyscrapers and Louis Sullivan's midwestern banks were featured by the Museum of Science and Industry in its 1976 bicentennial celebration. Following his retirement in 1985, Taylor restored Sullivan's Van Allen Department Store in Clinton, Iowa for use as a regional center for architecture and design outreach education. In 1993, Taylor moved to Santa Barbara and continued his preservation work. Taylor is survived by his wife, Hope, three children, Victoria Taylor of Los Angeles, Beth Fergon of Monterey, and John Taylor of Santa Barbara, and two grandchildren.

Raised in a house full of colorful relatives during the Depression, he graduated from LA High and began college at UCLA. When the war started, he joined the Army Air Force and served as a flight officer until he was shot down and held as a POW for 434 days in northern Germany. Returning to California, he attended UC Berkeley, from which he graduated in Chemical Engineering in 1948. Just a year before, he had married his childhood friend and sweetheart, Patricia Hartley Burk; together they had three children whom they adored. He started his career with National Starch and then joined A&W where he later became an Executive Vice President, a position that involved substantial domestic travel. Prior to retirement, he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Los Angeles. In addition to his career, he pursued life-long interests in inventing and cookery - interests which spurred entrepreneurial enterprises in food brokerage, patents for food preparation technology, and, in a more personal realm, an enviable reputation as an exceptionally warm host. In 1965, he also began to travel Internationally, an undertaking which added scores of new friends around the world. Since his retirement in 1981, when he and Pat moved to Santa Barbara Bob, began to contribute substantially to his new community, through volunteering and support for a wide variety of humanitarian, educational, and cultural undertakings. Activities ranged from tutoring struggling students to delivering Meals on Wheels, Recording for the Blind and being an elder at St Andrews Presbyterian Church. As a member and past President of Santa Barbara Rotary North, he did not confine his involvement to financial support alone. In particular, as a survivor of harsh circumstances himself, he sought out ways to support those in transition, isolation, or disadvantage. As a consequence, many individuals, from all classes, races, generations and disabilities have been touched by his generosity and gentle, easy presence. Bob will be deeply missed by all who know him, from shopkeepers to business colleagues, neighbors to life-long friends. He is survived by his loving family, so grateful for so many good memories over his 79-plus years: Patricia, with whom he celebrated his 52nd anniversary earlier this year, son Elliott and Kay, daughter Darci and Ruben, and daughter Adrienne and son-in-law Tom.

DORRANCE, Jeanne Gates an adventurous and generous spirit, passed away peaceably on June 1, 1999 after a noble and uncomplaining struggle for many months with the effects of pneumonia and grand palsy. Born May 12, 1914 in Verdi, Nevada, she never lost the Western spirit and sense of boundless possibilities that she associated with the Blue sky and mountain vistas of her birthplace. As an active member of what is currently called the 'greatest generation', she repeatedly turned adversity into opportunity. During the Depression, she had to leave the University of Nevada after two years, but seized an opportunity to move East to attend Katherine Gibbs secretarial school in Providence, Rhode Island. After graduation, she married Herbert Larned Dorrance Jr , presently a resident of Tallahassee, Florida. Her years as homemaker and mother included the challenges of "single parenting~ during World War II while her husband was overseas and the building of suburban family life in Cohasset, Massachusetts after the war. Her children remember her delicious cooking, gardening, home-sewed school dresses, magical Christmas celebrations, dynamic brownie scout leadership and exciting excursions to Boston to see Gilbert and Sullivan operettas or to cheer on the Boston Braves and Red Sox. Most of all they remember her great love of reading and of music. Her quest for learning about the history and cultures of the world still guides their lives today. Deeply imbued with American ideals of freedom and democracy and moved by a keen hope for social justice she moved to Washington, D C in 1961 when direct family duties were completed. She plunged into a variety of jobs including staff for a U S Congressman and work at the White House. She participated intensely in several Presidential campaigns. But Watergate led her to seek more fulfilling duties as a resident property manager in Washington D C and San Francisco, CA. Never just a manager, she found ways to stir up community spirit with special events such as Christmas choral singing and Sunday brunches. She was beloved by her staff for the deep tolerance and respect for human dignity and cultural diversity that she exemplified long before it was something that had to be talked about. Late in her work life, she had the opportunity to travel with great enthusiasm to the British Isles and to Sweden where she met many relatives of her Mother who had immigrated to America in 1905. Since 1981, Jeanne Dorrance has been a resident of Santa Barbara taking part in many Adult Education classes, volunteering for several civic activities and devoting herself to the study of the moral and political thought of Mahatma Gandhi. She is survived by her three children David of Santa Rosa, owner of DERAIL Books, Carolyn, a resident of Santa Barbara and Professor at Oxnard College and Susan Nightingale of Lawrence, KS, Chief Librarian and Media Specialist for Santa Fe Trail Middle School.

CHAMBERS, Robson (Rob) Cole passed away June 18, 1999, at Casa Dorinda, Montecito, California. He was courageous, dignified, and impressive in his long battle with cancer and a hero to all whom witnessed his perseverance and inner strength in his final months. His meticulous intelligence and great loving heart was apparent and respected, not only in his passing but in every aspect of his long and successful life. Robson was born in Los Angeles on March 4, 1919. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1941. He obtained a scholarship at Harvard University to do graduate work with Walter Gropius, but World War II intervened, and he spent a year working on the design of army and marine camps in Oregon, Arizona, and California. The next three years he served in the Marine Corps Reserve at Oceanside and Hawaii. He married Helen Cresap Snow in 1943 in Escondido while stationed at Camp Pendleton. In 1945, he returned to work in Los Angeles with his uncle's firm, Myron Hunt & HC Chambers. In 1946, he moved to Palm Springs to work with Albert Frey and John Porter Clark. His architectural practice in Palm Springs included design work on the aerial tramway. For twenty years, they practiced "modern architecture" whenever they could. Many of his drawings were recently donated to the Architectural Drawing Collection, University Art Museum, UCSB. Robson had a passion for the desert architecture; dwellings that enhanced and endured the unusual environment. Special structures that could respond to extremes in temperature, wind and sand, droughts and torrential cloudbursts. Housing for adventuresome spirits who loved the clean, dry air, vast open spaces, brilliant blue skies and star filled nights. Homes with views that framed the softly colored hills, sunrises and sunsets, and the springtime blossoming of the desert. Robson lived most of his life in or near the desert. In 1966, he left Palm Springs to take a position as campus architect at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in charge of the building program, long range planning and inspection. In 1972, he was President of the Santa Barbara Chapter of AIA. He also served on the Architectural Board of Review for Hope Ranch Park. In 1981 Robson retired from UCSB and returned to the desert, buying a Cliff May ranch house in Borrego Springs where he had a private practice until 1995. His simple, elegant style and love of the natural desert environment make his houses unique and timeless. St Barnabas Episcopal Church in Borrego Springs is a spiritual testimony to his grace and vision as an architect. From 1990 to 1997, they enjoyed summers and dear friends at their second home in Hayden Lake, Idaho. Robson was actively involved and interested in everything and everyone around him. His community spirit, his endless energy, his enduring faith and compassion made him a valuable asset to the world, wherever he was. When Robson got involved, things were accomplished. He was a highly focused and effective human being, motivated and intelligent, yet gentle and friendly. He will be remembered with love and respect by all that knew him. On June 12, Rob and Helen celebrated their fifty-sixth wedding anniversary. They have traveled extensively together-to Mexico, Europe, Japan, China, Greece and India. In retirement, Rob found time for bridge, walking, swimming, and reading and was an accomplished watercolor artist. His creativeness and excellent taste in everything made his life rich and his opinions most valuable. He is survived by his wife Helen of Casa Dorinda, two sons, Alexander Chambers of Santa Barbara, and Douglas Chambers of Pensacola, Florida, three grandchildren, and two great grandchildren survive him. He will be loved and missed daily. His profound influence will be evident always. A memorial service will be held at St Barnabas Episcopal Church in Borrego Springs in the fall.

He was a happy, kind, and gentle man whose dimpled smile lit up every room and life he entered. Charley was born on January 7, 1904, as he loved to recount, "in a half-dugout near Manitou in the Oklahoma territory before it became a state". He was the fifth son of Mark and Elizabeth Collins. His father had homesteaded a quarter section of land on which he raised cotton. Charley liked his life on the farm and often joked about welcoming rainy days on which he didn't have to hoe cotton. He wanted to go to agricultural school and become a farmer. But his mother begged him to attend business school, after which he moved to Oklahoma City at 16 and became a bookkeeper for Antoine Clausen, a pioneer Oklahoma City developer. Charley worked diligently by day but filled his nights with song and dance through performing with a small band where he played the saxophone and learned to tap-dance. His early amateur efforts finally became his profession. He studied to lose his accent and perfected his dancing. He eventually worked his way to New York where he played The Palace, the ultimate goal of every vaudevillian. He shared billing with the young Bob Hope. He later won the juvenile lead in "Ripples," a Broadway show starring Fred Stone. It was there he met Fred's actress daughter, Dorothy. Charley spent a couple of years performing in London where he and Dorothy were married in 1932. They worked both separately and together through the years. They starred in a revival of the "The Red Mill", which had a very long run on Broadway in the late 40's. Charley's career included the lead in a 1936 musical comedy film, "Dancing Pirate," in which he showed off his dancing skills. His last professional appearance was on television in the 80's as a guest star in a segment of "The Master Series." Charley and his wife worked in musicals, comedies and reviews until the mid 1960's. They retired to Santa Barbara, CA, in 1969, where Dorothy died in 1974. Charley, a new and enthusiastic resident of Santa Barbara, learned from the late Walker Thompkins that the irregularities of Santa Barbara's streets were attributed to an early surveyor's errors. He composed the following rhyme, entitled "Haley's Jig:" Carrillo, Cabrillo, Castillo, and Haley Conferred at Ortega and Soledad daily. Santa Barbara surveying held much of their thought And Haley sold a deal that the other three bought. They told him to take his good chain and his compass And lay out the streets to avoid any rumpus, But Haley just wanted to go for the ride And his short chain was lengthened with stretchy rawhide. When the sun was real hot, on the rawhide t 'would beat And the next block was| short by a number of feet But early at morn, with dew on the rock The rawhide would stretch and lengthen the block. So if streets don't quite jibe Then haul in your jib And tack when you should Or you'll fracture a rib Charley was an avid and vocal political participant and a member of the Channel City Club. He had a long exchange of letters with Ronald Reagan, a former colleague in the Screen Actor's Guild. He often said that he had had a long and wonderful life. For the past 26 years, he has happily resided with his beloved and devoted Catherine Good Garvin, who survives him. From his large group of siblings, only one sister, Elma of Oklahoma, remains. Charley wanted no formal services to be held, but friends who wish may remember him with a contribution to the Friendship Center, 89 Eucalyptus Lane, where he spent many pleasant hours.

CHRISTENSEN, Laura S Memorial Services for Laura S Christensen, 93, were held Monday, July 19, 1999 at Oak Hill Cemetery. Mrs Christensen died at her home in Solvang on July 15, 1999. Mrs Christensen was born October 26, 1906 in Tyler, Minnesota, one of eleven children of Walter and Anna Rasmussen, who, since the mid-1930's, made their home in Solvang. Two of the eleven siblings of that union remain, her brother, Elmer Rasmussen of Solvang, Ca , and sister, Ingrid Andersen of Ontario, Oregon. Mrs Christensen was predeceased in 1989, by her husband of over 50 years, Oscar Christensen. Oscar and Laura Christensen were the founders and owners of the Solvang Shoe Store in Solvang which they operated from 1946 to 1963. They retired from their business in 1963 after moving the shoe store from its prior location on First Street (where Gold Fantasy is now located) to its present location at the corner of First Street and Copenhagen Drive. The business was purchased by Paul and Asta Hanberg of Solvang and it is currently owned and operated by their son, Max Hanberg and his wife, Laura. Laura Christensen moved from her hometown of Tyler, Minnesota in the late 1920's to Los Angeles where she worked as a governess. She met her husband-to-be at a church dance in Los Angeles, shortly after he had immigrated to the United States at age 30. Oscar Christensen was manager of the cheese department for Knudsen Creamery in Los Angeles. In 1941, Laura Christensen and two children moved to Solvang while her husband recovered from a lengthy illness in a Los Angeles area hospital. She worked at several jobs in Solvang , one of which was as a linotype operator for the Santa Ynez Valley News owned, at that time, by the Walter Hansen family. Following her husband's recovery, he joined his family in Solvang and Oscar and Laura Christensen founded and operated the Solvang Shoe Store. Many long time residents of the Santa Ynez Valley recall buying their boots and shoes from Oscar and Laura Christensen during the many years they owned and operated their store. Retirement afforded them the opportunity to enjoy their family, grandchildren, home and garden. Mrs Christensen is survived by her two children and their families, Jeannette (Dominic) Tripodi of Arroyo Grande and Richard (June) Christensen of Solvang. She is also survived by her five grandchildren, Sara Tripodi of Eugene, Oregon; Amy Tripodi of New York City ; Camina Tripodi, Arroyo Grande, Ca ; David Christensen and family of San Mateo, Ca and Diane Christensen Ambrico and family of Dallas, Texas.

He had a love for life with a light spirit and a free sense of humor. We love you Kelly. Your family will fondly remember how much fun we had with you at your brother's wedding reception Saturday. With your usual charm and energy you brought that spark which only you can do. We'll miss you, little brother. This short tribute is dedicated to you; the man whose life will never be forgotten.

SOLIN, Mary Ellen Dies at 82. "Her strength belied her soft step" Mary Ellen Solin, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, teacher and librarian died peacefully on July 31, 1999 at Leigh Block Hospice House after a brief illness. Born, in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 20, 1917, raised in Port Clinton, Ohio. Mary Ellen was the daughter of Harry Tyler and Dorothea Magruder Belknap. Mrs Solin attended Swarthmore, Western Reserve and Merrill Palmer School where she studied English and early childhood education. Mrs Solin's teaching career has touched the lives of generations of Santa Barbara school children and their families. Her 40 year professional life was dedicated to the education and nurturing of young minds and spirits; as a first grade and kindergarten teacher, and later as a school librarian at Lincoln and Roosevelt schools. Many of her former students can trace a happy relationship with learning and the printed word back to their first association with Mrs Solin. Guiding youngsters to learn and to love books was certainly part of Mrs Solin's legacy to her pupils. But many of them remember her guidance in lessons of character development which seemed always to be part of the package. She possessed a clear mind coupled with common sense. Mrs Solin's students were indeed equal heirs to the kind of wise and loving lessons she also dispensed to family and friends. It was the same alchemy accomplished with the kind of eye contact that dissolved everything but her words. Words spoken directly from person to person, with jolts of electric intelligence, style and flair, words that were guileless and sincere. She was tender with the weak and vulnerable. She could be trusted with a secret. She could correct without shaming. "You know you're better than that: and I know you're better than that," was a common theme. The young heart recognized such truth then. The heart remembers still. Her tact and courtesy could civilize almost any interaction. Her humor and modesty unburdened others of their pride. Her self-respect gave others permission to respect themselves. Her courage encouraged us. Her refinement softened our world. Those privileged to be near during Mary Ellen's last moments on earth attest to the mindful tranquility and utter fearlessness with which she departed. And now, her wit, wisdom, humility, loyalty and commitment to family, friends and those in need, will live on. Mrs Solin was an active member of St Michael's University Episcopal Church in Goleta and a devoted member of her Amicitia (spiritual friends) group. Following her retirement in 1982, she volunteered in classrooms and school libraries all over town and was renowned for her story telling abilities. She was a volunteer for planned parenthood. She sang with Santa Barbara Choral Society for many years. She was an avid reader and, as she might say, "dabbled" with creative writing, playing golf, gardening and playing the recorder. Mrs Solin is survived by her husband, Lawrence Solin, her son Loren Solin, daughter-in-law, Linda and grandson, Kai of Santa Barbara, her daughter Jean Schwab, son-in-law, Christopher (Kit) and granddaughter, Katie of Cupertino, California, her sister, Mrs Jean Robertson of Ann Arbor, Michigan, nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and scores of devoted friends. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 8 at St Michael's University Episcopal Church in Isla Vista. 3:00 pm In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice Services of Santa Barbara, 900 Calle De los Amigos, Santa Barbara, CA 93105 or St Michael's University Episcopal Church Library Fund, 6586 Picasso Road, Goleta, CA 93117.

O'DONNELL, Patrick James "Jim" died in his sleep on August 2, 1999, at his residence in Las Vegas, Nevada. The second son of John and Lillian O'Donnell, Jim was born on March 1, 1933, at Ravenswood Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, Jim grew up in Libertyville, Illinois. He served in the U S Air Force from 1951-1955. Jim joined Burgess manning and was transferred from Mundelein, Illinois, to Irving, Texas, in 1959, with his first three children, Pat, Brian and Kathy. In 1969, he moved with his family, including two younger children, Tim and John, to Northridge, California, where he had been transferred by IBM. After 28 years of service, Jim's retirement now found him in Las Vegas, Nevada. Within one year, Jim became restless in retirement and obtained his real estate license. Jim's true colors now came out in two areas; first, he specialized in helping low income home buyers, primarily those in the restaurant and service industries, to purchase real estate. Secondly, he helped many retired IBM retirees relocate to Las Vegas to enjoy the good life. Anyone visiting Jim at his home on Conville Street was quick to notice his abundant wit and humor, even if you were the intended butt of the joke, and especially if you were his number two son Brian. Losing Jim hurts most deeply those who were lucky enough to share his many talents and gifts. Some of Jim's extracurricular activities included: having a badge as a licensed gambling inspector; his use of a press pass to get into restricted shows and events; his certificate as a licensed minister allowed him to perform "unions" among friends. He was also recognized on Conville Street as the "official neighborhood diplomat." Jim leaves behind many friends and family, including his wife Judy O'Donnell, of Northridge, California; his brother Jack, of Corvallis, Oregon; his sister Patricia, of Cleveland, Ohio; sons Pat and wife Diane, of Santa Barbara, California, Brian, also of Santa Barbara, daughter Kathy and Chris, on Winnetka, and sons Tim and wife Linda of Santa Barbara and John and wife Karen, of Daly City. Jim is also survived by four grandchildren: Shamus, Bethany, Sean and Andie. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim's name may be made to the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association. An Irish wake will be held in Santa Barbara on Saturday, August 21st. SUGICH, HELEN Born in Grand Junction, Co March 28, 1920 died here in Santa Barbara (her home for over 50 years) at 10:20 P M.

After her husband finished his BA at the U of Montana and his MA at the U of Michigan, the family, (Charlotte, Albert, and son Ronald) moved to New York City where Albert finished his PhD at Columbia University and Charlotte work at Horace Mann School.

In the period following completion of his degree and the end of the war's paper shortage, Albert went to work for the War Mapping Program. This required that the family move about every six to nine months. Charlotte said she lived out of her steamer trunk and two suitcases for the whole time.

This included 13 years in Ann Arbor, Michigan where Albert taught at the U of Michigan and where the family moved only twice.

In Washington, DC, she continued with her pottery taking classes at the Corchran Gallery. After moving to Santa Barbara in 1966, she purchased her own kiln and pottery wheel and worked at home. She said if the family would stop raiding her finished works she might be able have a show and sale. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on the view point, the family continued absconding with the goods, and Charlotte was able to hold only a few private showings of her work. Charlotte's later interests included travel, the Faculty Women's Club (the scholarship fund, bridge, stitch and chat, and needlecraft), the Assistance League, and UCSB Emeriti. She also enjoyed the local public gardens where she instructed various family members in botany.

His friends and colleagues are deeply saddened and will truly miss him. John was an enthusiastic geologist who enjoyed investigating the wonders of our physical world. From a small bit of rock, he could tell a story about the geologic past -- where oceans rose and fell, how the crust moved and cracked, what made the mountains rise up and where to find oil and natural gas. He enjoyed sharing his vast knowledge of California's geology with colleagues, students and friends. He was an authority on the history and geology of Santa Rosa Island. John led many an expedition to study the island and bask in its incredible beauty. His geologic expertise was matched by his ability to read a golf course and negotiate a little ball around it. He was a sought after partner and could always be relied upon for both sage advice and a critical shot. John had a pure swing that did justice to his uncomplicated approach to life. We are grateful to have known and worked with such a gifted and caring person., Our hearts go out to his wife and children fro this sudden and painful loss. From his friends and colleagues at Venoco.

ELMES, Kenneth S died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday morning, Sept 25, 1999 at Mission Terrace Convalescent Hospital in Santa Barbara. He was 83 years old. To say that Ken Elmes ran a gas station is a little like saying that Pavarotti is a singer. It is a flagrant simplification. Since 1946, Ken Elmes owned-with and without partners-Union Marine Station, the harbor-based fuel dock located at the end of the Navy pier that supplies the area's 150 commercial boats with gas to go. It has also supplied all other seagoing vessels berthed at the harbor, currently about 1,000, with fuel. To supplement his income in those early days-because there were not always so many fuel-hungry vessels in and out of the harbor-he also rented out small boats, ran a yacht brokerage, installed a small boat hoist and operated the shore boat. After a decade of working day in and day out at the fuel dock, Ken (known to many at the harbor as "Mr Kenny") decided to explore another option. From 1956 to 1990 he operated a fleet of 15 offshore oil boats, while still maintaining ownership of the fuel dock. It was also during this span of years that Ken was involved as a partner in the building of the Marine Center Building, the Navy pier hoist and travel lift pier as well as being a partner in the boat yard A July 1964 news article notes Ken's acquisition of a 184-foot boat he converted into a research vessel for Texas Instruments for its use in the Pacific on behalf of the Air Force, eventually used as the prototype for the Glomar Explorer-used for the recovery of sunken Russian submarine under the guise of an undersea mining operation. The article also mentions a 129-foot offshore oil workboat called the Sea Transport that had arrived the same day, equipped by Ken for a voyage to Cook Inlet in Alaska where it served a Shell Oil Co offshore drilling platform. Ken was a self-described gambler in that he took risks in business. Some paid off and some didn't, but the tides of fortune and misfortune seemed to wash easily over the man who, for half a century, was a fixture, in one way or another, at the Santa Barbara Harbor; who saw it grow and change and reinvent itself. It was apparent to his business associates, friends and family that doing the right thing was important in Ken's scheme of things. Since 1981 he owned and operated Mr Clean, anchored off shore for years, a clean-up vessel leased for oil spill work most frequently by Clean Seas, the nonprofit environmental watchdog organization based in Santa Barbara. Eventually, he helped develop and operate a total of four of the cleanup vessels. What prompted that decision was, in part, Ken's recollection of the nearly cataclysmic oil spill of the Santa Barbara coast in 1969. Mr Clean was sold to Clean Seas in 1994, but not before it had done service an average of six times a year in the waters between Ventura and Santa Barbara. "It probably seems odd that on the one hand, I would make a living operating a fuel dock and owning oil transport boats, and on the other investing in a clean-up vessel, but I think that's where we have to adjust and mix our business and environmental philosophies," he told a reporter in a 1997 interview who brought up the seeming paradox of supplying craft to both oil companies and cleanup crews. But to Ken, it all boiled down to cleaning up after yourself; a philosophy that, to his way of thinking, would result in a more pristine environment all the way around if all business embraced it. Ken grew up in New York City, where he was born on Oct 30, 1915. He graduated from Columbia University in 1937 with a degree in liberal arts. He was also champion wrestler who earned national recognition, taking pride in the fact that he was never pinned during his college years and never thrown after his freshman year. He was a major in the US Army 13th Armored Division and served with the "Black Cats" in Europe during WWII. It was while he was stationed at CAMP COOK (Vandenberg) that he met his wife Marge at a dance and, in his own words, "never looked back." Ken and Marge-who has owned the Montecito-based Elmes Travel since 1974-were married in 1946 and have two sons, Steve of Monrovia and Dev of Sonoma; two daughters, Claudia of Pasadena, and Colleen, who lives in Kentucky; and eight grandchildren. The boy from New York City was a man of few words, used to the kind of straight talk of his upbringing, his military career, and the business life of the sea. When he was asked in 1997 to sum up his feelings about his life at the edge of the sea, he said, "I have been a happy man. "I have enjoyed my work. I even loved being in the Army!" "I love my wife." Over and out. A memorial service will be held at 4:30 pm on Thursday, Oct 7 at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club with a reception to follow.

A member of the president's Council of Westmont College, he was also actively involved with the Santa Barbara Cancer Society, the Santa Barbara County Bar Association, and the Community Environmental Council. He was a long-standing member of the Santa Barbara Club, the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and All Saints by the Sea Episcopal Church.

In light of his grandsons' attendance at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, he had become active in its fund-raising activities. As recently as this Spring, he skippered his boat to Santa Rosa Island for a family fishing trip. His passion for boating and fishing stemmed from his early experiences in the Thousand Islands area of the St Lawrence River, where he first wet a fishing line at age 4.

CHRISTENSEN PIERCE, Joanne Adair After fighting a brain tumor for the last five months, fellow Santa Barbarian, Joanne Christensen Pierce, 48, passed away September 28, 1999. While attending Santa Barbara Junior High Joanne composed the school Alma Mater. At Santa Barbara High she participated in numerous musical events and played the organ for the baccalaureate ceremony at the County Bowl for her graduating class of 1968. Not wanting to leave the serene golden sands she had been born on, this "California Girl" continued her musical studies at UCSB as a composer and The Music Academy as pianist. She graduated from UCSB College of Creative Studies in 1973. The world called her name, as it does so often with teenagers, and Joanne went exploring for three months throughout Western Europe and behind what was then the "Iron Curtain" countries of Russia, Czechoslovakia and Poland. After returning home to the States, Joanne ventured to Los Angeles where she entered numerous songwriting contests. This led to gold records which she received for songs written for artists such as Highway 101, Juice Newton, and Kathy Mattea. After ten years, the freeways of LA became less serene than the State Street she used to cruise down in her boyfriend's '56 Chevy on Saturday night. Joanne moved with musician husband and two children to the Nashville countryside where they built the city's first artist development production studio called, Cedar House. After thirty four years, and three Grammy nominations, Joanne was still writing for movies and television. Just recently there was talk of a possible Emmy nomination for Joanne's song, "What the Heart Sees" that was showcased in the CBS Movie of the Week, "Beauty", which aired last December. In between writing Joanne would fish in her private lake and reminisce about West Beach's golden sands where she used to jog. Loved by everyone who met her, Joanne was one of those rare people who made one feel brighter about life. Her vibrant personality and heart possessed an unshakable amount of optimism. She believed that absolutely nothing was unreachable or unattainable -- that everyone owed it to themselves to go after their dreams and that a person can "have it all." Although Joanne's life was cut relatively short she lived a complete life, with an 18 year marriage, two wonderful children, a wealth of good friends and family, multi-songwriting awards, and a successful Grammy nominated business. Joanne is survived by her husband, Johnny Pierce, her son and daughter, Sterling Robert and Jessica Faye, stepson Jason Pierce in Tennessee and in California, by her mother, Twila Christensen, sister Jan Masuda of Morgan Hill and brother, Kim Christensen of Livermore, and many loving relatives. A memorial service will be held for Joanne in Santa Barbara on October 16 at 4:30 p m at the the First United Methodist Church.

Later, he worked as a certified plant operator at the Goleta Sanitary District & at Applied Magnetics, Summerland Water District and the Gas Co.

A serious mechanic, John's love of cars ranged from hotrods to vintage VWs. He could aptly be described as a "shade-tree mechanic par excellence" Compassionate, honest, well-read, knowledgeable, industrious and ever courteous, John personified the true gentleman.

Your rocking chair is empty, the one you left behind But we know you got a better one, a very special kind God called you up to heaven, were sure of what we say You've gone to be with angels, we know it was planned that way, Heaven is a wonderful place, so we've always been told the Bible says there's pearly gates and pathways paved with gold. You know we sure do miss you, we feel our empty hearts strange how you were there one night and the next day we were apart. When you were ready to go God took your hurt away, he is so great and kind but there is an empty place within the ones you left behind. Don't be afraid without us, God will take care of you, and when it's time for that great day we'll all be there with you. You gave us so much happiness, love and lots of joy, and our memory is one gift of Gods that passing cannot destroy. We love you dad, grandpa and great grandpa Many thanks to the Cottage Hospital Staff in the E R & 5 South and to Chaplain Tina for the care, concern and kindness in his last hours.

GANS, William C August 1,1921 - October 24, 1999 William Gans was born in Poland Mines, Pennsylvania, the youngest of six children born to a country doctor and his wife. He grew up in this small coal-mining town in southwestern Pennsylvania, leaving home to attend Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut for a year, and then transferring to the University of Michigan. He graduated with a B S in Chemical Engineering in 1943. His first job out of college was working as a chemical engineer for Alcoa, before going into a lead and silver mining venture in Leadpoint, Washington. In May, 1944 he enlisted in the Navy and saw active duty in the Pacific theater on the destroyer Fred T Berry; receiving his honorable discharge as a 1st Lieutenant in 1946. After leaving the Navy, he returned to mining, this time in a silver/lead mining venture in what is now North Cascades National Park. It was there he met and fell in love with Elizabeth "Bucky" Buckner. They married on September 7,1947 in Stehekin, Washington. Although during their married life they worked and traveled all over the world, Stehekin was always "home" to them. Bill spent five years in Wenatchee, Washington as a rancher, and worked at various enterprises, including Culligan soft water, storm doors and windows, building materials, and building new homes. It was there that the couples' three children were born. The call of mining was irresistible, however, and in 1955 he moved to Mexico with the family, where he went to work for Baroid, a company which produced drilling mud materials for the oil industry. Following three years in Mexico, the family moved to Salvador, Brazil, where they lived for seventeen years. During most of this time, Mr Gans was responsible for the operation of a barite mining operation on an island 60 miles south of Salvador. The assignment in Brazil was followed by a two year return to Mexico City, then three years in London as Baroid's Director of Procurement for Eastern Hemisphere Operations. He closed out his career with Baroid at the home office in Houston, Texas in 1983. In 1988, he and Bucky moved to Goleta to be near family, and where they built a home on land he had developed starting in 1978. During his retirement years, they traveled extensively, raised avocados, and spent the summer months in Stehekin, Washington, where they had met, and where Bucky was raised. In September 1997 they celebrated their Golden anniversary at the spot where they were married. Bill's life was filled with courage, energy, commitment, love of family, generosity and devotion to righteousness. He was intensely interested in and committed to his children, his extended family, and the wide circle of friends they had acquired and kept - literally all over the world. He impacted the lives of countless people in positive and encouraging ways. He was an active member of the 1st Church of Christ Scientist in Goleta, and prior to that in Houston, where he served as First Reader. He is survived by his brother, Paul Gans of Pasadena, his sister, Emily Merritt of La Jolla, his wife, Bucky, his sons Carl and Phil, all of Goleta, his daughter, Judy Gans of Sudbury, Mass , nine grandchildren (one of whom was born the day after his death), 7 nieces and 13 nephews, all of whom will miss him very much, and all of whom are richer for having known him. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, October 31, at 1:00 pm at Las Positas Friendship Park - Godric Grove.

She is survived by her daughter, Gayle Stuhlman, and granddaughter, Barbara Oxley, both of Kansas City, Missouri. Gwen married Morton Scott in 1943 and lived in the LA area until 1973 when they moved to Montecito. They met while he was Music Director for Republic Pictures and she was a contract player for Paramount under her maiden name, Gwen Kenyon. Gwen had grown up in Hollywood, going to Hollywood High School. During her teen years she both modeled and acted before being discovered by Paramount. Her first film was "True Confessions," with John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, and Fred MacMurray. During the '30'sand '40's Gwen appeared in more than 25 films, including "Gone With The Wind," and acted with all the major stars of her time. Of all her accomplishments, Gwen was most proud of the work she did outside of her acting career. She was an American Red Cross instructor and ambulance driver; taught First Aid at the Milton Berry Institute for disabled children and young adults; was the first president of the Ladies Auxilary of Variety Clubs International; and here in Santa Barbara she worked to support the Music Academy of the West for 22 years. She was president of the Ladies Auxiliary at the Music Academy in '83 and '84, and was recently elected Honorary Women's Auxiliary Member- only the seventh woman so honored in 50 years. Gwen was also actively involved in work supporting the Lobero Theatre. Gwen took the following quote and added to it to make it her own: Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak to me in the same easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play. Smile. Think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Thank you to Gwen's many doctors and nurses, to the compassionate caregivers who were with her the last six days of her life, to Leigh who is goodness personified, and especially to Steve and Linda who loved her like a son and daughter. There are indeed angels among us here on earth There will be a memorial service and celebration of Gwen's life at Stewart Hall, Music Academy of the West in Montecito on Sunday, November 14 at 2 pm.

STARBUCK, Edward Baxter Jr, born in Santa Barbara in 1922 and a community leader during his active life, died October 28, 1999 from complications caused by Huntington's Disease. "Bax" graduated from Laguna Blanca School and attended Pomona College until his call up by the US Army in May of 1943. He served for three years in the 821st Tank Destroyer Battalion until his discharge as a Captain at the end of World War II in Europe. In later years his often told and sometimes hilarious stores about his tour of duty and fellow officers emphasized his profound pride in serving his country. Upon his return to this country he was given his degree from Pomona and attended Harvard Business School, graduating in 1948. His long and successful investment counseling career in Santa Barbara began as an association with Thomas Sears which eventually became the firm of Starbuck Tisdale (now Starbuck, Tisdale & Assoc.) He retired from active participation in 1983 due to his deteriorating health. In keeping with the tradition established by his grandfather, father and Mr Sears. Bax always had a keen interest in the community. He served on the Board of Directors of the Cottage Hospital for 15 years, 5 of those as president; he was president of the board of Laguna Blanca School, a board member and president of Neighborhood House, and sat on the boards of Community Chest (now the United Way), The Music Academy of the West, Children's Home Society, the Montecito Association, and the Montecito Foundation. He also served as president of the Santa Barbara Club from 1971 to 1973. He was elected to the board of the Santa Barbara Foundation in 1968; during his tenure he served on the Scholarship and appropriation Committees and chaired the Finance Committee. He became a Trustee of the Foundation in 1979. Throughout these years the creation of the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens from the estate left to the Foundation by Mrs. John H Child was one of his favorite projects. He is survived by his sister, Charlotte Starbuck French; his daughter, Susan Starbuck Deering; his son, Charles Edward Starbuck, and his four grandchildren, Amy Elizabeth Deering, Kelsey Anne Deering, Lucas Haskell Starbuck and Michael Peck Starbuck. His commitment to Santa Barbara was deep and matched only by his love for the area itself. He never wanted to live anywhere else. His integrity and fiduciary responsibility were his trademarks. It has been said that he never let the "left hand know what the right hand doeth" and as a consequence, people knew that whatever was entrusted to him would be held inviolate. He was a tower of strength in good times and in bad to all who looked his way. He was that rare person who puts duty before pleasure, honor before fame, integrity before profit and service before self. He loved his family and always seemed to find time to include them in his active life; he relished informal times at the beach, yearly vacations at Tahoe, hunting with his son and friends, and involvement with his children's hobbies and sports. For those who so desire, charitable donations in Baxter's name, may be directed to the Santa Barbara Foundation, or The Foundation for Cottage Hospital, or a charity of choice. The family invites Baxter's friends and associates to join with them in celebrating his life at a reception on Nov 9, at The Santa Barbara Club, 1105 Chapala St, Santa Barbara, from 3 PM to 5 PM.

Mrs Carlton was born May 1, 1911, in Washington, Iowa, the daughter of George and Minnie Hartman. She was descended from the Singmaster family, prominent farmers in southeast Iowa and internationally known horse breeders and sellers in the pre-automobile era. After raising their children in Washington and Dubuque, Iowa, she and her husband J Guy Carlton, a retired high school teacher and coach, moved to Santa Barbara in 1969 to be near their daughter. His death in 1986 ended a happy and uniquely devoted marriage of 54 years. In 1991, she moved to the Valle Verde retirement community, where she resided until her death. She is survived by her son, John Guy Carlton, Jr, who with wife Muriel, lives in Sahuarita, Arizona, and by her daughter, Suzanne, who resides in Santa Barbara with husband Duncan A Mellichamp. Her cousin, Geneva Casey Parsons, whom she regarded as sister and dearest friend, survives in Seattle, Washington. Edna Mae liked to refer to herself as "the wife of a teacher and mother of four teachers." As homemaker, she was a true artist, happiest when immersed in the creative traditions of her midwest and family backgrounds--cooking, sewing, knitting, sketching, and painting--usually for the benefit of others. Her warmth and beautiful smile were contagious; she was a friend to all who knew her. In most recent years, these included her bridge partners, many residents of Valle Verde, and members of her church, St Mark United Methodist, which she attended regularly until that became impossible. At her request, her remains are to be joined with those of her late husband in the land of their births in Iowa.

A resident of Santa Barbara since 1947, Doc Green initially migrated from Bloomington, Illinois, with his wife and their three children. Carl fell in love with Santa Barbara after a visit there in 1946 with his best buddy and colleague Dr Willard McEwen, father of Bill McEwen U S Magistrate Judge of Santa Barbara. Carl graduated from the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry, in 1932, and had his dental practice in Bloomington until 1943 when he joined the Navy during WW II and was stationed in Green Cove Springs, Florida. Carl was a Charter Member of the Optomist Club and continued as a fifth generation Shriner. Even with constraints of a busy dental practice and active participation in his public service organizations, Carl found time to raise mink and then build a half-acre cymbidium glass-house and raise cymbidiums for the next 50 years. He developed and registered two hybrids which are named for his wife and son. Carl started traveling as a young man when his father, a railroad conductor, would get him railroad passes, and continued traveling throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the World the rest of his life. Retirement for Doc Green meant more time for fishing, hunting, gardening, photography and world-wide travel with Ann. He loved seeing new places and cultures; however his trips to Alaska to photograph its beauty and wildlife were always his favorite. His wanderlust never waned. In 1999, Carl had visited his daughter in Williams, Arizona, his son in Phoenix, Arizona, driven himself and Ann up to San Francisco to salmon fish for three days, driven over to Cachuma Lake twice each week to trout fish; and finally travel to South Bend, Indiana, for a month stay with his other daughter. Carl loved watching all sports; however, going to the University of Notre Dame football games (ASU, USC and Navy) in October was especially exciting to him. His trip with his family to Mackinac Island, Michigan and a night at the Grand Hotel topped off his visit. At O'Hare Airport on his way home, Carl met with his long-time friend, Mike Pauly, who he went to dental school with and had not seen for 70 years. Carl will be remembered by his friends and neighbors as someone always ready with a special story and for his "greenthumb". He always planted enough vegetables in his small but highly productive garden, so he could leave neighbors surprise gifts of tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cauliflower and radishes. His expert advice as to how to grow cymbidiums and vegetables was freely given. Carl will be dearly missed. In a private family gathering at Christmas, his ashes will be scattered out in the ocean where he spent many, many enjoyable days. Carl will forever be remembered as a wonderful and much missed father and husband. Welch-Ryce-Haider Chapels is in charge of arrangements.

POETT, Alfred Dibblee Born in his maternal grandfather's house on the present site of City College on September 17, 1906, Alfred Dibblee Poett was the third child and first son of Alfred Redington Poett and Mercedes de la Guerra Dibblee. His paternal grandfather, a civil engineer who had worked on the London subway and the San Joaquin irrigation canals, was retained in 1890 to survey Rancho San Julian, one of the original California land grants. During the length of the survey the elder Mr. Poett was accompanied by his son who met and courted Mercedes the daughter of Thomas Bloodgood Dibblee and Francisca de la Guerra, who owned the land. Mercedes was the granddaughter of Pablo de la Guerra and granddaughter of Jose de la Guerra a commandante of the presidio. A R Poett and Mercedes Dibblee resided at 325 E Mission Street until 1919 when they deconstructed their home and moved it to the San Julian Ranch where it was recon- structed. A Dibblee Poett graduated from the Dean School in Santa Barbara in 1926. In 1931, Dibbs, as he was universally known, attended the Boeing School of Aerodynamics in San Jose but the exigencies of the Depression cut short his career as a pilot and he returned to the San Julian to manage his mother's section of the ranch which began a seventy year career in agriculture. During that career he raised registered and commercial polled shorthorn cattle and farmed a variety of dryland crops. In the late thirties he was deeply influence by the work of Ehrenfried Pfiffer whose biodynamic theories remain one of the roots of contemporary organic and sustainable agriculture. Dibbs became manager of the San Julian in 1953 and remained in that position until 1997. During that time he was active in many agriculture organizations, boards, and committees. He believed deeply in the ranching traditions of this county and continually fought for an environmental approach to agriculture which was both educated and national. He was a lifelong foe of develop- ment in agricultural areas and with his neighbor on Route 1, initiated a law suit which was eventually taken up by the Sierra Club that stopped the development of a golf course and trailer park. He was active in historical and civic organizations in Santa Barbara and gave time to both the Historical Society and the Trust for Historical Preservation carrying a milking stool and pail in his car on trips to town so he might more conveniently milk his one dairy cow on his return at night. In 1991 he published a popular history "Rancho San Julian". Dibbs was a member of the Santa Barbara Club and the Society of Los Alamos and a strong believer in helping homeless, particularly in providing shelter. A man of inflexible will, quiet determination, and gentlemanly grace is he survived by a brother Harold Poett, four first cousins, Tom Dibblee, Virginia Dibblee Hoyt, Yvonne Donohoe, and Frances Summers Knowles and three nieces and three nephews.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay. Rage, rage against the dying of the light And you, my father, there on that sad height. Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

PAMP, Frederic E Died on November 28, 1999, in Santa Barbara, California, after a long battle with cancer. He was 83. Mr Pamp was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the oldest son of a Swedish Covenant minister. The family soon moved to New England and he grew up in the Roslindale section of Boston. He earned his diploma from Roxbury Latin School and then attended Harvard on an academic scholarship, graduating summa cum laude in 1939 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship which let him travel, and he was visiting relatives in Sweden when World War II began. He volunteered to work for the International Red Cross and served as an interpreter. In June, 1940, he left Paris, heading south, as the Wehrmacht marched in from the north. Mr Pamp then started work on his Masters' degree at Harvard, but he was one of the first men called up by the peace-time draft. The draft board let him finish his degree and he entered the Army in 1941. Trained as a clerk, he volunteered for the newly-created Officer Candidate School program because his first sergeant told him he could not apply. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery despite a marked lack of ease with dealing with mathematics. The Army eventually took note of his fluency in several languages and he was assigned to Intelligence. He was posted to England in 1943 and landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day Plus Six as a member of the headquarters staff of the 19th Corps. As the Allies moved across Europe, Lt Pamp worked as liaison with the Resistance forces in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, finding out what they knew of conditions behind the German line. He recognized his good fortune in having a staff job in later years he often spoke of his admiration for the front-line troops he tried so hard to help. He also developed a healthy scepticism for official announcements and bureaucratic decision-making. He was awarded the Bronze Star, the Belgium Order of Leopold, and the French and Belgium Croix de Guerre. He was honorable discharged in 1945 as a Captain. Mr Pamp returned to academia, teaching English literature at the University of Chicago and at Smith College where he worked toward a doctorate. He earned his Ph D from Harvard in 1950 but then he changed direction and entered the business world, where he did well despite his life-long habit of telling the truth at inopportune moments. For most of his career, he was employed by the American Management Association, rising to the post of Executive Vice President. He was also President of the international Management Association, setting up its operations in Brazil and Belgium. Mr Pamp was married in 1942 to Janet Mary Novak, who survives. He is sadly missed by his wife, his daughter, Diane de Avalle-Arce of Santa Ynez, California, his son, Frederic R Pamp of Colorado Springs, Colorado, four grandchildren, one great-grandchild, two brothers, two sisters, and many nieces and nephews. Mr Pamp was an avid sailor, golfer, and student of current affairs. He loved to sing and he could be relied on to know the word and how to carry the melody strong in church. All his life, he spoke out against bigotry of any kind. He served the communities where he lived in church work, in politics, or in volunteer activities. He believed deeply in the dignity of the common man and the fallibility of the powerful, writing fierce letters to the editor until the last few months of his life. He was an honest man and a patriot. In lieu of flowers or to honor his life, donations may be made to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Brunner, Robert Vaughn Robert Vaughn Brunner was born to German immigrant parents, Charles and Magdalena Brunner, in Texarkana, Arkansas, on June 11, 1911. He was the seventh of nine children and grew up on a farm where they raised pigs, grew grapes and made wine. With the advent of prohibition in 1927, and the revenuers finding the still in the basement in 1929, their livelihood was put in jeopardy. So they took Robert out of school when he was in the tenth grade and moved to California-he never returned to school. He worked for his brother in a grocery store in Coronado where he learned how to cut meat, and he later became a butcher at Piggly Wiggly Market. Around 1940, he began working at Convair/General Dynamics in San Diego, building aircraft for World War II, and later became supervisor of the electrical department where they built electrical harnessing for the Atlas Missile. He supervised several hundred women and learned to carry two handkerchiefs, one for him and one for them. He was married on Christmas Day, 1941, to Beatrice Imelda Brown at First Covenant Church in San Diego. Their son, Dean, was born in 1945, and their daughter, Carol, was born in 1949. Robert loved to work with children. He served for ten years as Sunday School Superintendent at College Center Covenant Church and headed up many youth groups over the years. At age 55, he took an early retirement from Convair and accepted a position as manager of the Alpine Covenant Church Conference Grounds at Lake Arrowhead, California, where he served until age 65. During his tenure at Alpine, he was responsible for creating "Tee Pee Village," where campers live in Indian Tee Pees for a week. He would dress up in an Indian costume, ride his Pinto horse, Sheeba, at full gallop through the village throwing a spear at a target on a tree to get the children's attention. After getting their attention, he would gather the children around and teach them bible stories with object lessons-his favorite thing to do. The children fondly referred to him as "Chief Redfeather." His grandchildren loved this so much that they often invited Chief Redfeather to perform at their schools. In 1976, Robert retired and moved to Santa Barbara to be near his children, Dean and Carol, and their families. After working for his son-in-law, Lynn Simonsen, building houses for several years, he was asked by the Dos Pueblos Little League Board to maintain the Little League fields. He mowed the lawns, drug the infields and watched his grandchildren play baseball until he was 86. He was friendly man and always had time to stop, talk & listen. The family was very fortunate to have the grandchildren grow up around Robert and Fritzie, because they found, by dumb luck, that grandparents play a very important and positive role in raising children. Robert was active in the Covenant Church his entire adult life and attended Montecito Covenant Church in Santa Barbara. He loved to memorize bible verses. One of his favorite passages was John 14:1-6, where Jesus talks about His father's house containing many dwelling places. At this moment, he is surely taking a good look around those dwelling places. In addition to his devotion to God, Robert was a dreamer, inventor, innovator and fixer; always looking for a better way to get something done. He was not an ivory tower scholar, but a doer. He taught his children and grandchildren how to fish, and how to make and fix things. They turned baseball bats on the lathe and made bowls. Three weeks ago, Robert was hospitalized with pneumonia and he passed away on December 13, 1999. He got all 88_ years out of the life that God gave him. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Fritzie, his son Dean, daughter-in-law Penny, son-in-law Lynn Simonsen, grandchildren, Jamia, Zachary, Cyrus, Tawnia, Justin, Beau, Tiffany, Andrew, Corie, Stacey and Robert, and seven great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Carol Simonsen, who died in 1991. He had a thing about the number 11: he was born June 11, 1911; weighed 11 pounds; wore a size 11 shoe; had 11 people in his family; had 11 grandchildren and who knows, someday he may have 11 great grandchildren (there is currently one on the way); and he lived 8 x 11 years. Robert was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was a remarkable example of service and devotion to God, church, family, community and to all who knew him. Services will be held Fri Dec 17, at 10:30A M at St Athanasius Orthodox Church in Isla Vista, 976 Embarcadero del Mar.

SMITH, Roger Titus devoted husband and father, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on December 15, 1999. He was born August 1, 1915 in Mt Vernon, Iowa at home in an unusual summer snowstorm. In 1925, at the age of 10, he moved to Pasadena, California. His train ride to California with his mother Kathryn, and Sister Lorraine, was one of the great memories of his life. He attended Pasadena High School and later graduated from USC with a major in English and minor in Business. He became a respected businessman and was a lifelong lover of poetry, often reading aloud to his family at the dinner table. Roger met his wife to be, Anna Sue Borum at the First Methodist Church in Pasadena where his uncle, Dr Merle N Smith, was the minister. She evidently "tripped" at the top of the church steps and fell into his arms. They were married in 1940. Roger joined the Air Force in 1943 and served in the 445th Fighter Squadron, the service's first jet fighter squadron. After the war, Roger worked in Southern California real estate investment and development. He was one of the first developers of the Mountain High ski resort in the Wrightwood area, then known as Holiday Hill. In 1958, Roger realized a lifelong dream when he moved his family to a ranch outside of Paso Robles and learned to farm. He raised Hereford cattle and farmed three hundred acres. In 1964 he moved the family to Santa Barbara into what became their home on Marina Drive for twenty four years. Here, he owned and managed commercial buildings, including the Hollister Building and the First American Title Building. He was part of the venerable men's club on Thursday's at Harry's Plaza Cafe with his friends, Randy Chase and the late Joe Makray. Beyond his devotion to his family, Roger was a true "people person". He was known to all for his generous spirit- lending a helping hand in times of need. He touched many lives with his open and friendly demeanor with everyone. He was a great storyteller, often entertaining his children, nieces and nephews and then his grandchildren with impromptu tales. His sense of humor, which was always strong became even more acute as he aged. He kept everyone laughing and was positive even in the most difficult of life circumstances. His greatest challenge was the passing of his beloved Anna Sue in 1997. just months after their fifty seventh wedding anniversary. Roger was a well loved man by all who knew him and valued for his ability to feel deeply and passionately about Life. Roger is survived by his sister Lorraine Griffith of Pasadena, four children, Cathy Smith, Neilla Robbins, and Maida Smith of Santa Barbara and Bruce Smith of Berkeley and eight grandchildren Sean and Erik Edwards, Jesse and Makeda Tekle-Smith, Brett and Cole Robbins of Santa Barbara, Sosha Smith of Tokyo and Tamara Alvarez of Berkeley as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels in charge of arrangements VALDE SAHYUN, Geraldine was born in Santa Barbara on June 7, 1905, and lived her entire life in her beloved city. She was the granddaughter and great granddaughter of English immigrants who came to Santa Barbara in the 1860's, and who were instrumental in the founding of Trinity Episcopal Church, of which Geraldine remained a life-long member. She was dedicated to the preservation of Santa Barbara's history, arts, and culture, expresed in both its Hispanic and Anglo traditions. She lived out this dedication through her participation in many organizations. Up until the time of her death she was a Trustee of the Santa Barbara Mission Archive Library. She had previously served as Director of the Santa Barbara Historical Society, of which she was a life member. She was also involved with the Santa Barbara Trust for Historical Preservation, the California Historical Society, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Geraldine spent her childhood in Tajiguas (just north of Refugio Beach) where her father, Charles John Valde, originally of Aalesund, Norway, was sectionmaster for the SP Railroad. Here she learned to love the South Coast countryside and the natural environment. Here too, she grew up speaking both Spanish and English, and she drew on this bilinguality for much of her life's work. After graduating from Santa Barbara State Teacher's College (a forerunner of UCSB), she taught Spanish for 10 years at Santa Barbara Catholic Girl's School, an institution which subsequently evolved into Bishop Garcia Diego High School.

Through this experience she became acquainted with Fr Maynard Geiger, OFM, who encouraged her to undertake translation of 18th century Spanish documents for historical research. Some of these more than 300 translations provided the basis for R N Whitehead's Citadel on the Pacific, a history of the Santa Barbara Presidio, for the establishment of Santa Barbara Presido State Park under the leadership of Pearl Chase, and for the ongoing restoration of the Presidio. In 1982, on the occasion of Santa Barbara's bicentennial, she co-authored with her long-time friend, Edwin Gledhill, the Voyage of the Princesa, and account of Spanish sea exploration of the California coast, contemporary with the founding of Santa Barbara. Some of Geraldine's more recent translations were used as a source for John Gherini's History of Santa Cruz Island. In 1934, Geraldine married the distinquished medical researcher, Dr Melville Sahyun, originally of Beruit, Lebanon, who in 1950 established his own research institute, Sahyun Laboratories, in Santa Barbara, where he was active until his death in 1977.

She and her mother were there during the 1925 earthquake, preparing to take a bath. When the quake happened, her mother grabbed Jeanne and ran out forgetting any clothes for each. The terrified miners who were having lunch in the mess hall, ran passed them and didn't notice a thing. The workers inside the mine had no idea an earthquake had occurred, until they came out. The Evans family lived for a while in Lompoc, and then moved to Santa Barbara town where Jeanne grew up and attended school. Jeanne married Donald Brian in 1945, and moved to Los Angles while Donald attended photography school. Jeanne was his model and assistant. In the early 1950's they settled in Los Alamitos where they raised a family and Don worked in the carpenter trade. The family returned to Santa Barbara in 1976. Both Jeanne and her husband Donald, were Jehovah Witnesses, and spent many contented hours sharing their faith about God Kingdom and his plan for mankind. When Don passed away in March 1986 Jeanne continued on. She could be found most every afternoon with bible tracts on Henry's Beach. Jeanne loved her garden and for many years, until age caught up with her, she could also be found tending to her vegetables and flowers along with several cats who always helped.

In the case of Patricia Denton Whalen, who died peacefully on October 5, 2000, the answer is simple! The measure is in the literally thousands of thoughtful acts of kindness, love and remembrance. A 40 year conservative estimate of her influence is as follows: at least 6000 birthday greetings in cards, tree placards, and street signs, 300 Halloween gift packs to students afar, 215 handmade individualized Christmas banners for assorted children, 50 handknit baby blankets, invitations to foreign students, photos galore, thoughtful notes and cards for any occasion or event and untold batches of cookies, bran muffins and soups delivered to neighbors and friends. Patty was born on March 6,1940, in Hollywood, California. She graduated from Hollywood High in 1958 and The University of California, Santa Barbara in 1962 with a degree in Sociology. In 1963 she and Roger Whalen were married and began their lifelong love affair, which was both unique, inspirational and laughter filled! She was justifiably proud and delighted by their children, Terry, Janet and Julie, and Pam. It's difficult to understand how Patty had time for other interests; however, many organizations benefited greatly by her ideas and participation. Roger and Patty were early and loyal supporters of UCSB, faithful alums and officers in the nascent UCSB Foundation. She was also active with the Pi Beta Phi sorority, both while a student and as an alumna. Other organizations served by Patty are Las Aletas, Laguna Cottages for Seniors, the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara Foundation, and the Montecito Foundation. Patty was also very supportive of her neighborhood and was a founder of the Montecito Beautification Day, and a driving force in acquiring the property and developing the Corner Green in Montecito. In addition, she was always interested in residential architecture, held a real estate license and was the repository of much local history. An accomplished artist, calligrapher and a creative contributor, she enhanced the work of all the groups with which she volunteered. Patty is survived by her loving husband, Roger, her daughter Julie of Santa Barbara, her son Terry of San Francisco and her daughter and son-in-law, Brad and Janet Stimson and her grandson, Jake Denton Stimson of San Jose, California and her daughter and son-in-law, Terry and Pam Dishongh and her grandchildren, Katie and Isaac of Seattle. Her devoted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Denton reside in Santa Barbara. She is also survived by her dear brother and sister-in-law, Terry and Sally Denton, their daughter and son-in-law, Bart and Laura McHenry and their daughters, Becca and Noelle. Remaining family include her cousins Steve Maher of San Diego and Tim and Geri Maher of Vail, Colorado and their children, Missy, of Vail and Sarah, of San Francisco.

After graduation from high school, she attended the University of Michigan. During her sophomore year, Helen entered a beauty contest in which the top prize was a trip to Hollywood and an audition with a film studio. Helen won the contest and moved to Hollywood in 1926. It didn't take long for her to realize that the type of life the Hollywood crowd led was not for her. Helen married and gave birth to her first child in 1928. Shortly thereafter Helen and her family moved to Santa Barbara, where, in 1931 her second child was born. The depression years were difficult but the family remained intact living on a cattle ranch (Dos Pueblos) just north of Santa Barbara. During World War II, a Japanese submarine surfaced just offshore from the Naples oil field and fired several rounds into the area adjoining the ranch. It was quite an exciting time for Helen and her family. In 1942, the family moved to Santa Barbara, at which time her husband Earl Scott, served as a fireman with the newly constructed Marine Corp Air Station at Goleta. (Which was later to be the site of the University of California at Santa Barbara).

Helen and her family remained in Santa Barbara until her husband's retirement, when they traveled extensively, finally settling down in Santa Paula, Calif. In 1994, Helen moved with her ailing husband to St George, Utah, to be near to her son Larry. Helen had many talents, including oil painting, crocheting and knitting but her favorite thing was her garden, which probably came from her father Bert Lawrence who was the superintendent of the grounds for the Kirk B Johnson Estate in Montecito. Helen was preceded in death by her parents May and Bert Lawrence of Santa Barbara, her husband Earl Scott "Scotty" in April 24, 1996, and her eldest son Patrick Scott in February 14, 1998.

KULL, Emma M `'Em" 08/30/1911 - 10/19/2000 Em died October 19 at the Valle Verde Health Center. It is difficult to briefly capture the richness of her life. She believed that "the only evidence of life is growth" and practiced this for most of her 89 years. Born in Germany, she immigrated to the East Coast at age 17, learned English by working as a nursemaid, and later managed a sweater design and manufacturing company. Shortly after moving to Ventura in 1942 with her husband, Frank, she began working in an upholstery shop which she later purchased with a partner and gradually transformed into Hurst Furniture and Interiors. She retired in 1977, moved to Los Osos and then life really began. She pursued a long-time passion for camping and fishing trips in her van, established yoga-based stretching classes which she taught until age 86, participated in aqua kinetics, nature studies, and art classes, and developed passions for Chinese Brush painting (which she began at 80+ years) and daily walking. When her vision failed, she moved to Santa Barbara and attended daily classes at the Braille Institute. Em touched the lives of many. Friends and family treasure the plants she started for them, her Chinese brush paintings, her modeling of self-discipline, determination, love, and acceptance, her listening abilities, her intuitive understanding, and her great sense of humor. Her children and grandchildren feel the presence of her spirit deeply in their lives and throughout the natural world. Em is survived by her children and sons-in-law (Peggy and Bill Callahan of Santa Barbara, Nancy Kull and Bill Young of Berkeley, and Bob Kull of Vancouver, Canada), her grandsons Greg Callahan of San Diego, Kevin Callahan of Santa Barbara), and her many friends.
