Notes - Lucy grew up in San Francisco, in the area called Pacific Heights, which is above the Marina and fairly near the Presidio. She went to school at the Burke school for girls at Sea Cliff. She liked sports a lot, and her school had a place where she could play hockey, basketball and baseball. Her life revolved around that area mostly. She had piano lessons and dance lessons. She remembers many times with the opera and Golden Gate Park, theater, and museums. She always felt there was a lot going on in San Francisco and that it was always exciting.
As a young girl, Lucy rode horses with her father. They had two quarter horses and a five gaited warm blood named "Dinner Music" of which they kept at the stables in Golden Gate Park. Lucy continued to be an avid rider throughout her entire life. Don and Lucy celebrated their anniversary every year at R Lazy S ranch in the Tetons of Wyoming. Lucy and Don always said that riding horseback in each country they visited was a different way to see different aspects of the countries they visited.
She vividly remembers in 1936, when the Golden Gate bridge first opened, walking across it on opening day. She wore cowboy clothes, like a 49er. She felt it was so exciting with their big fireworks, parades, and all other festivities.
Don taught Lucy both snow skiing and tennis, both sports they continued to enjoy through their later years.
Lucy and Don both shared a passion for history and travel. Thru the years they have traveled to over 100 countries, sometimes taking all their children and grandchildren with them. Together they have traveled to many of the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. They traveled the Silk Route, swam in the waters of the Amazon, trekked the plains of the Antarctic, viewed the Northern Lights from the Baltic and enjoyed the surf along Polynesian islands.
While Lucy and Don loved to travel, they had a special connection to Yosemite. Lucy started going there as a young child and traveled there throughout her life. Yosemite was where Don and Lucy often camped during the summers with the Allens and taught their children to ski at Badger Pass with Nick Fiori in the winters and spring. They often enjoyed hikes in the area to many of the falls and in Tawalomee Meadows. The whole family even celebrated Lucy's 70th birthday at the Wawonee Lodge in 1996.
