This conversation happened pre-covid and was part of our Under The Persimmon Tree series. Martha and I speak about her background and a bit about her time with the merchant marine. Mostly we talk about the challenges associated with being a planning commissioner and having Big Sur in her district. NB: Martha is still at work as a commissioner!
Frances Hoeffel, Marcus Foster, Clarissa Chappellet and Barbara Woyt all join in the Q&A.
Please email magnus@henrymiller.org with any comments, critique and/or suggestions. Thanks!
