Fabrizio and Richard first met in 1982 in the Castro, just two weeks after Fabrizio's arrival from Italy. Back in the day, they were disco queens, frequently dancing the night away at the Endup. Their friendship has endured for decades. Along with Fabrizio's partner Alan, we've shared many adventures together, including trips to Italy, Paris, and Hawaii. We also enjoy regular Saturday evening dinners, alternating between their city home and ours in Alameda.

Tim and Kip became fast friends in 1973 when they were assigned as dorm roommates during their freshman year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Their friendship has endured through the years, a testament to the strong bonds formed during those early days. Both are part of the Pozo Brotherhood, a group that will celebrate its 50th year of annual reunions in 2026. Kip and his wife Amy divide their time between Visalia and Shell Beach, enjoying the unique charm of each location.

Tim and Cathleen first met in the summer of 1982 while working together at Cooley, Godward, Castro, Huddleston & Tatum. Over the years, they have shared many enjoyable moments, including memorable trips to Portugal and Spain during their younger days. Today, they continue to nurture their friendship with regular dog walks in the Berkeley hills. Cathleen resides in Orinda with her husband, Erv.

We have been fortunate to share our lives with two incredible dogs. First, there was Maggie, our loving rescue from Palm Springs, who brought us endless joy. Now, we have Cubby, our delightful Russian rescue dog. She is the most laid-back dog we've ever met, filling our lives with immense happiness and companionship.
