When not at work, my biggest time consumption is Basketball. I run a church league I started 7 years ago and we now have over 1000 kids playing from grades K-12. So Nov - Feb is league play and some down time after that. Then we start looking at scheduling gym time for next year. I have been doing some missions work around Chicago and I have been to India right after the tragic big wave hit. Let’s just say I have seen death in a way that I don't want to see it again, but I have seen the spirit in people pulling together like in NY, or when a big weather disaster happens, I was in Hugo, saw it here, worked it here. I'm now training to go to China and Cuba, not sure which one will be first.

I sing in a 75 person choir, so no one hears me, which takes up a lot of time. Our Minister was the bass player in Blackfoot southern rock and roll band. He started it and now is a minister, great story; it is in a book called "Hard Rock to Solid Rock" He holds nothing back when talking about it. He has me learning the bass. One neat thing is that we have so many old time rockers that show up and jam on Sundays that know him in the past.

I ride actively a 1600 Kaw, since we can ride every month in the year, and have worked with some biker gangs down here more of a ministry out reach. It has some eye opening times. Some of the bikers work for me in our shop which is how I was able to get past some barriers. Yes I eat grits, drink sweet tea, love NASCAR, just all being part of the South, You'al under stan, I may have some red neck in me now, but I don't talk the talk unless I need to for work related needs. I think half of NY, NJ, and all live here now; this is a fast growing area, second largest banking area next to Wall Street. We have sky scrapers, pro football (still a Packer fan) basketball soon baseball is the talk, after 20 years here, Madison is still Home. Thanks for reading this, Scott Wille
 

I initially spent three years working with the Hyatt in the hotel industry since Reagan had made major grant funding cuts eliminating many of the available but limited genetic counseling jobs. My last Hyatt position was Employment Manager at the Hyatt on Union Square now the Grand Hyatt. I was recruited back into genetics and have been at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco since 1986 working in the Prenatal Diagnostic Center.

I met my husband Wally Breitman in 1997 while we were neighbors in San Francisco. He was a widower with two lovely grown daughters who kindly welcomed me into their Dad's life. (One is a children's librarian!) We now have two wonderful grandchildren. I feel I got the best deal by not having to raise children but having grandchildren to spoil!

After living in SF for 17 years, I moved to Sonoma in 1998 needing to have some dirt. I had been leaving the City on weekends to be in the country with horses and nature. Why not live in the country and commute into SF to work? San Francisco was great but I missed gardening. Have you ever tried to grow tomatoes on your rooftop in the SF summer fog?

Wally and I were married in 2000. He is a wonderful friend and companion. He never ceases to amaze me. He recently retired from Human Resources in the semiconductor industry. His work allowed him, and me, to travel around the world. In fact we took an around the world trip for our honeymoon.

I have sold my motorcycle. I had a Kawasaki 750 that took me to Canada and back. With Wally not riding, and two dogs, I wasn't riding much. Now I spend my time gardening, training dogs at home and at our local animal shelter, and tending to our two horses, Taco and Honey, when I'm not acting as the chief handyperson around our property.

UPDATE: My latest news is I just started working for Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland! July 2007, after 21 years, I retired from UCSF and have taken a job as a Prenatal Screening Coordinator for Northern California Kaiser. Life goes on!
