Our community activities soon occupied our time. We joined the Congregational Church, Verna served as secretary to the Board of Trustees and I became Treasurer. Verna soon made her contact with PEO and in 1979-1980 was President. She became a member of AAUW, joined Women's club, delivered meals on wheels, and became a member of the Hospital Auxiliary. I joined the Chamber of Commerce and, for 10 years worked on the Membership Committee. I passed examinations for Life Insurance, Variable Annuities, and Real Estate, joined Rotary and was a member of the board of directors for 6 years. In 1978, received an appointment from Sonoma County Supervisors on the Ground Weather Advisory Committee, and later the Flood Control Advisory Committee. The community gave its support to the Senior Service Center, and we helped with that. My volunteer activities were soon taking all my time, and the Insurance and Real Estate licenses, became inactive.

We moved from our mobile home in Oct. 1991 to a two bedroom apartment. We can get our meals and have other help when needed. Sonoma has treated us like royalty. We have lived here in Sonoma 18 years, longer than any other place.

29 Mazatlan Drive. Fifteen years in one house, [sic] We live less than a mile from our former home and occasionally join our friends for special social events.
