Gail’s Corner

I’ve been asked by Rick Holliday to help gather the community that will live together on the old Truckee railyard site.

Who am I?

          -Part time Truckee resident, 3 years

          -Part time poet

          -Part time outdoorswoman

…..Jeez, everything I love I am only doing part time.  That can’t be the right answer!

          I love skiing in the mountains.  I love biking and hiking and napping in the mountains.  When I’m in the mountains I write wonderful poetry.  I sleep soundly.  I smile more, cook more, linger and daydream and wonder.  I feel small, (I’m tall) and happy and…dare I say…content.  Awed by my surroundings.  The (unbelievably exquisite) seasons reminding me of impermanence – especially my own.

Why me?

          -My husband and I think we want to live here (on the old railyard site).

          -I’m crazy enough to believe the right people working together can create synergy, magic and a cool community.

          -I was an owner in another Rick Holliday development in SF-The Clocktower, for 15 years and I loved loved loved being there.

          -I believe in Truckee and I believe in Rick’s ability to build a community I will want to live in.

                                                                                                             Truckee Truly, Gail

Next:  Who are You?  Stay tuned and I’ll tell you.  No, actually, I’m hoping hoping hoping that you’ll tell me…
