Like many students at the time I took time from my studies to gather "real life experience". .I lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel in the Negev Desert for a year from 1967 to 1968.. I also took time for backpacking in Europe, and a trip across the United States.. The memory of that California experience stayed in my mind and encouraged me to relocate to the Bay Area in 1989.
