How about some introductions? I will start us off with I am 65, now living in Naples, Florida. I was blessed to have been born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, so have 43 years of one day after another of being lucky to have lived and played in fabulous Alaska. Let's see, was in three bear incidents, saw lots of moose, elk, beluga whales. Caught a 43 lbs. King Salmon, downhill skied, ice skated, cross country skied, have frost bite, and generally lived with nature. Now I am slightly huddled inside, as Florida has been too hot these past couple of years. COVID normalized me! Just got my first vaccine! Have been happily married for 20 years to my lovely husband Michael, and I chose not to have children. Luckily, he has three children and lots of grandchildren and a great-grandchild, so lots of love to go around. How about you?

Hi Cathy! My name is Carlean Holmes Gharpurey. I am 68 years young. I was born in Connecticut on a dairy farm. My family moved to Vermont when I was 5 and I was lucky enough to grow up on 365 acres in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. I married at 38 and graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration the same week! After marriage I lived for two years in West Virginia, 8 years in North Carolina, 5 years in New Jersey, and for the past 15 years in Northern California, on the coast between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. My husband is from India and 20 years ago we adopted our daughter from India when she was two. She will soon be graduating from college. I got more involved in politics after the "former guy" was elected. In the last year I worked on a campaign to get the first Latino elected to City Council. We knocked doors (with masks and social distancing) for his campaign. I am a huge Golden State and Santa Cruz Warrior fan. I will try to keep my basketball off Politicsrus and on Twitter. Looking forward to seeing what we can help Martin accomplish.
