Dear Family,



My name is Wendy Berry. I am 33 yrs old and I met Steve in Alaska through his old friend & roommate David in 1995. I came out for a visit to SF from Washington DC where I was living in 1996 and he graciously took me out on the town, to Marin and all the sights and told me I must move here.
