My life was greatly influenced by fortunate connections with the Andersons and their collections. I worked at Saga in the mid-1970's and then, in the 1980's, when the Kaiser Family Foundation bought the property, I was hired to develop their Executive Suites.

Many years later, as VP of the Stanford Professional Women's Alumni Association, I scheduled several tours of the Collection, both at Quadrus and at the Anderson's lovely home. I am grateful to have worked in such a phenomenal space and also to have worked for such extraordinary people who had the vision for both the art AND the environment, and made it come to life.

Thank you, Hunk and Moo, for your many gifts to our region. Dear Moo, you were an extraordinary woman whose gifts, kindness, and generosity were legion. Rest In Peace.
