Diane Pearl is one of those people that it is a joy to be with because they radiate love. Searching for where this quality came from, she told me that she thought she had gotten it from her mother's womb while her mother followed her passion of teaching Hebrew to Jewish children. She went with her mother to the classes as a child too, absorbing the universal principles of Judaism. The child who identifies with her gifted father, and follows in her father's footsteps, uses observed skills and has a foot up in her own career. Diane's father was a tool and die maker, and Diane is no less a mechanic for being a jeweler and painter. She has synthesized what she learned from her parents into life led as art, in clear and gentle beauty.

Jill Flyer was born in Chicago, Illinois where her architect father taught her how to draw at 5 years old. Her parents believed they should encourage her artistic abilities, so, along with drawing lessons at the Art Institute of Chicago, she studied piano for many years, as well as ballet and acting lessons. Playing the piano is still a major passion. In order for her to practice she is looking to find an inexpensive piano. Anyone with an extra or inexpensive piano, email Jill ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or leave a note for her at LCS. This is important because Jill is aching to return to music.

Barbara Bannon Harwood, known to friends as Pia, is the beautiful scion of a brilliant family.  Her father was a professor of Chemistry and Physics in Nebraska.  Her grandfather was a County Commissioner; her father a City Councilman and mayor.  I can imagine her growing up in that down to earth, big sky country, out in nature enough to form questions about its substance and its cycles, and having a father who could explain the natural phenomena she encountered.  At the same time, she got to witness her grandfather and father live out their own can-do attitudes.  She also had an allergy to many things, including formaldehyde. All these facts would figure large in her future.
