We are Kees and Janet. We've lived in the beautiful Bay Area for over 30 years. We've been dividing our time between our Montclair home and our cabin in Yuba County, California, for the past 15 years. We have two grown sons, one living in New York and one nearby in Oakland, and a 12 year old granddaughter and 9 year old grandson.
Kees is Dutch, born in Delft in the Netherlands, who moved to Canada as a child and then to California. He is fluent in Dutch. He is retired from the San Francisco Chronicle, having worked as a graphic artist, and is now a painter. Janet is a 5th generation California native. She is retired, having worked for many years as an index editor for a legal publishing company in San Francisco. Both Kees and Janet love to travel. They also enjoy having the grandchildren stay overnight once a week.
