Lou

I met Lou and his wife Harriet at the Costco in Rohnert Park, where they've retired after being long time bay area residents.

Lou was already in the Navy and stationed in Japan when the US officially entered the war. After his tour, he and Harriet married and initially lived in San Leandro. Later, they moved to Pinole, where Lou served his community a mayor for four years beginning around 1984.

Lou credits his time in the Navy for forming his perspective and forging his desire to be involved in the world around him.

Lou retired about 12 years ago after a long career ar Ford in Richmond; he and Harriet have two kids and four grandchildren who also live nearby.
