She Turns 40...

Rachel, Oberlin, Ohio, 1968... today's her 40th birthday.

Ron and I send a long distance toast to her in Portland, Oregon. We are very proud of our first child who survived many family adventures in her early years including the arrival of a little brother before she was two.

Energetic, athletic, competitive, and loving, she has put it all together.  Rachel continues the family traditions.  She asks hard questions.  Her commitment to social justice flows through her personal and business life.

For a special present, besides a contribution to a cause she supports, we thought to send her and husband to a fancy hotel for a weekend alone.  Turned out, we learned from her spouse, she'd rather go camping-- and take the two kids.

Here's to you, Rachel, our feminist daughter, always true to yourself.
