In the “Life Since Graduation” section of her page in the 45th Reunion Book, Vicki Jane Hammond (DC) writes: “In many respects, my life started when I moved to California in 1977. Perfect place for me, at a perfect time. First, right in San Francisco, living in a funky warehouse space. Then in a houseboat in Sausalito, with my office in a shipyard, watching brown pelicans from my windows. Half that space for painting, half for my freelance work. And rowing in an open-water single scull when I seemed to have Richardson Bay all to myself. That California is gone now, and I recently moved further north. Still doing the same work—and nearly finished writing a novel (a long-delayed goal).”
