My dear husband, Lothar passed away December 3, 2020, on his 85th birthday. We were married 62 years. Lothar was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and I was born in Brooklyn, NY, but we both spent our early years in Los Angeles, and went to UCLA. We moved to San Francisco in 1967 where Lothar worked for the City, and Carole taught high school English and history, and was also a librarian and community college instructor. We are blessed with 2 wonderful sons and daughters-in-law, and 6 fantastic grandchildren. Eric is an educator, with gorgeous twin girls, and Kris, is an architect, with 3 surfing sons and a beautiful surfing daughter. We split our year between CA and HI, and enjoyed spending time with family and friends in both places. We also enjoyed traveling to far-away places. In Maui, we ocean swam and snorkeled every morning at our lovely Kamaole Beach, just across the road. We also enjoyed water aerobics and long beach walks, especially at sunset. I love to cook and entertain family and friends in Maui and San Francisco. We both loved to read, watch good films, and enjoyed listening to both classical and folk music- especially if we could sing along! We made our first trip to Hawaii in 1975 and decided it was where we wanted our vacation home. After we retired, we spend most of the year in Hawaii enjoying its beauty, the beaches, the weather and the wonderful Aloha spirit of the people.
