June 16: Berkeley, Calif.
Nights like this one are the reason I so love SPJ and its members.

Peter Sussman, a legendary SPJ-er, Wells Key holder and one of the authors of the SPJ Code of Ethics, held a mixer at his home this evening. The national executive committee and members of SPJ's outstanding Northern California Chapter got together on a beautiful evening for food, wine and fellowship.

It was a blast.

Peter and his wife Pat were extremely gracious hosts in their wonderful, century-old arts and crafts style house.

We also celebrated the 17th wedding anniversary of Terry Harper, our executive director, and his wife Lee Ann.

We made our way over and back (mostly) via Bart, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system. The pictures were taken on the platform as we waited for the train back from Berkeley. At top, downtown San Francisco is in the distance.
