Thomas Garrison Sanders Nov. 18, 1940 ~ Nov. 21, 2008 Resident of Moraga Thomas Garrison Sanders passed away peacefully with his loving family at his side on Friday, November 21, 2008 after a valiant battle with cancer. Tom, the son of Elizabeth Morfit and Theodore Eugene Sanders, was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended St. Louis Country Day School, graduating in 1958. Tom received a B.A. degree in biology from Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and his M.S. and Ph.D.degrees from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Following post-doctoral studies in Drosophila genetics at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Tom was a faculty member in the Departments of Biology and Biochemistry at Princeton University and Lake Forest College where he pursued research interests in developmental and molecular genetics and behavioral biology. In 1983, Tom left teaching to pursue an opportunity at Chiron Corporation, a young biotechnology company headquartered in Emeryville, CA. Tom's career in the biotechnology field included a 15 year tenure at Chiron followed by 5 years at Mitokor, Inc., located in the San Diego area. Tom's love of teaching never waned and he was always willing to share the depth and breadth of his knowledge with those around him. He ended his career as a Visiting Lecturer at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. Over the course of his career, Tom served as an editor to various scientific publications. Tom involved himself in the community, volunteering many hours as a youth soccer coach and referee, Cub Master, and was involved in local school activities including serving on the board of Saklan Valley School. Tom spent countless memorable hours camping and fly fishing with his son, Garry, on rivers from California to Maine, particularly enjoying their time spent in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California and the Teton mountains of Wyoming. Tom also enjoyed the many relaxing times spent with his family on various beaches in warm idyllic locations. Tom is survived by his devoted wife, Suzy; son Thomas Garrison, Jr. and his fiancée Carly Auten; step-daughter, Jennifer Wyckoff; and brother George and his wife Phyllis of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He is also survived by numerous brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews. A service to celebrate Tom's life will be held at 1:30 pm on Saturday, December 13, 2008 at the Oakmont Memorial Park, 2099 Reliez Valley Road, Lafayette, CA 94549.

Socially Responsible Entertainment in Vancouver - Fishing Conservaion Taught at kids party Catch and Release fishing, with balloons, is the theme in this kids birthday party. Let's explore why: Families in North America are increasingly concerned that their children are constantly exposed to violence, whether in the form of TV, movies, music or games. Many families want to get back in charge of the values their children develop. In countries where peaceful resolution is practiced, people will not even raise their voice in a debate. Crime and acts against another person are almost non-existent. The reason is that these societies believe strongly in peaceful resolution and teach it to their children. Until very recent history, with the advent of satellite television and Western movies, children had very limited or no exposure to violent Western culture, and the culturalization process has been able to perpetuate nonviolent values. In cultures where children are not exposed to violence and where society does not celebrate violent resolution as an acceptable behavior, children are more likely to grow up capable of finding nonviolent means to resolve conflict. About Socially Responsible Entertainment "SR" Entertainment is an innovative practice which is gaining ground with people who are looking for quality content, products, services and training for their communities Starting in 2006, the socially-responsible entertainment roadshows in Vancouver continue to finance and produce feature programs, festival series and magic shows that are performed throughout British Columbia, many of which receive recognition and awards at by mayors and city council. Vancouver's socially-responsible entertainers are positioned to be a viable competitor in the international entertainment industry. A growing 41 percent (net) of respondents prefer socially responsible brands ... as their all-in-one device for communication, entertainment and even their web access. Thoughts for today.. Laughing stock: cattle with a sense of humor .. Love is grand; divorce is a hundred grand .. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic. You have a choice by choosing Socially Responsible Entertainment for your childrens' parties and festivals. For example, instead of violent party games, please consider: "Balloon Swords Into Balloon Plowshares" no balloon swords at these kids birthday parties! balloon guitars instead! http://tinyurl.com/7b5wjm "Team Building Solar Powered Reindeer Races" http://tinyurl.com/7pkslr "Battery Recycling Magic Show" a reverse battery drive audience gets free revived batteries http://tinyurl.com/83ezg5 http://tinyurl.com/8eovb8 "Catch & Release Fishing Road Show" http://tinyurl.com/9km2et "Kids Balloon Construction Road Show" http://tinyurl.com/9nrxne "Human Carillon & Giant Jump-On Piano" http://tinyurl.com/7m4wal "Endangered Species Face Painting" http://tinyurl.com/7gm53b Views: 32 Rating:
