We spent our summer delighting in the company of Jackie, an incredibly interesting woman who has spent decades vacationing at her cabin in Tahoe.

Jackie "received her B.A. from the University of Denver and her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. She held the following positions: staff of National Opinion Research Center; project director, Stanford Research Institute; professor, San Francisco State University; before going to UCSD. Winner of the C. Wright Mills Awards for her monograph, Stations of the Lost. Winner, the George Herbert Mead Award for lifetime research; member, National Academy of Sciences, Alcohol Policy Panel."  So needless-to-say, our time together is never boring.
