There was a memorial service for Kathleen Quaife (-Hodge) on December 5, 2022 at noon. Stereotypically, I got a late start and other hilarity ensued combined with everyone leaving immediately afterwards. But the upside is that an insider tipped me off to the correct location and I arrived to have several hours to myself in the fabulous exhibit dedicated to Kathleen's work as an artist. This exhibit was created by her co-workers at the California State University Channel Islands where she had taught for several years.
Kathleen was one of my favorite people from my time in Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s and I was happy to reconnect with her for a day two years ago at the opening of a ceramics studio here in Santa Barbara.
Kathleen was like having a glowing ball of positive energy around. Again, why are the best people taken from us while the annoying and amoral swine continue to live among us? Where is the justice in that?
The physical plant of CSUCI is astonishing and was the location of a notable hospital far, far away from anything else five miles outside Camarillo. The buildings are classic and the place is huge.
