Board Notes Margalynne Armstrong. We were pleased to welcome Margalynne to the board of directors this fall. She is a resident of Palo Alto and, since 1987, an associate professor at Santa Clara University School of Law where she teaches Constitutional law, Property, and Race and Law. She writes in the areas of housing, racial discrimination, and comparative law. Prior to teaching at Santa Clara University, she practiced public employment law, was a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Alameda County. She directed the Academic Support Program at Boalt Hall, and was an Associate Editor of the Ecology Law Quarterly at Boalt, graduating from there in 1981. She previously served on the board of directors for Hidden Villa for eight years. We sadly accepted the resignation of two board members this summer. Joan Sherlock, resident of Los Altos Hills and formerly a marketing executive with Sun Microsystems, left the Committee for Green Foothills’ board to start her own consulting practice and to have more time for her family. She continues to assist us with our strategic planning process as a volunteer. Jessica Rose Agramonte, resident of Half Moon Bay, a faculty member at Stanford University where she directs the Motion & Gait Analysis Lab at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and a tireless open space advocate, found she needed more time for both her family and academic responsibilities. We thank both Joan and Jessica for their excellent service over the years to the Committee. We also mourn the passing of our former board member, Barbara Eastman, on December 23, 2006, from complications following pneumonia and heart failure. She was 88. While her obituary focused on her legacy of working to protect West Marin and the Point Reyes National Seashore, we remember her as an early board member for CGF who had great influence on planning in Santa Clara County. Lennie Roberts remembers that, “Barbara was a force to be reckoned with especially on the County General Plan. She helped get the hillside zoning in Santa Clara passed by the Board of Supervisors. She was definitely ahead of her time!” Ciddy Wordell called her “an extraordinary mentor; she rode ‘shot-gun’ with me for years as we went to countless meetings.” Published Spring 2007 in Green Footnotes.
