This longtime Sebastopol resident shares her life story, favorite local hangouts, the joys of talking to strangers and tips to keep going in the current political moment
Marilyn is a true Sebastopol treasure. She’s one of my very favorite people to run into when in town and she’s always an inspiration and a joy. Thanks to Kavya and the Sebastopol Times for sharing her story and her spunk with our community.
What a wonderful story! Thank you Kavya for finding this one and for bringing Marilyn to us. She's an inspiration. My mother, Joan Arnaudo was born in 1940 in North Beach too. Who knows, maybe they went to Sarah B. Cooper and Hancock together. This story made my day.
This is journalism at its very best! Uplifting stories of people living well in our society today are in short supply these days, and we’re all hungry for this kind of journalistic nourishment.
I have been fortunate enough to know Marilyn for years, and she’s truly a delight. This profile included things I discovered I share with Marilyn: we’re both Libras, old Blues from Cal, sailboaters, and among yesteryear’s elementary school teachers. That she is an antidote to despair and hopelessness I already knew.
I hope you guys do more profiles like these. Sebastopol is home to many remarkable, original, creative, amazing treasures disguised as people. I love reading about them!
