What was your first concert? The Grateful Dead at Folsom Field at University of Colorado, Boulder, in September 1972.
What has been your favorite project you’ve worked on/have been working on at City Light? Why? The various Sound Transit projects since construction started in 2003. The project team members over the years – some of whom are still here (William Chin, Dan Herman, Sherry Sloan-Manning, Dave Russo, Alan Hall, and Peter Kopp) – have invariably been very reliable professionals. I’ve been lucky to work with them and often think about their work on this project and others over the years whenever I see the infrastructure they helped build across our service area.
