FogHorn Sept. 29 - SHOP TALKS - Paul Wrubel and Bonnie Dunham

Paul took us on a delightful trip from somewhere out east where they have horrid seasons to his ultimate destination, the ever temperate Half Moon Bay. Along the way, there were several educational stops for Paul and his wife, there were a couple of Masters degrees, there was a stint as high school principal in Fremont at a huge school and there was his devotion to changing how college educations are funded. He shared with us a piece which he has written which starts with a little boy getting a haircut from the Italian barber and ends with the Italian barber's granddaughter, Paul's daughter cutting his hair.

 

We actually had two shop talks scheduled. By the time Paul's presentation wrapped up Bonnie was left with seven minutes. She decided to break her shop talk into two parts and she put the autobiographical portion on hold for a later time. Instead she shared with us her passion for photography. She displayed some of her favorite pieces (some of which are on display in Rotarian homes). She has reproduced some of her pictures in book form. A work in progress celebrates her husband Dale’s life. She spoke about the value of creating a record in the form  of a printed digital album. A number of people stayed afterward to discuss that with her.
