Eddie Gonzalez writes: "2007 was very exciting. On June 20, 2007, we added a new member to the family, Ruby Pierce Gonzalez. We are very excited to be parents and are tremendously enjoying seeing her grow. She started crawling in February and we've been playing catch-up ever since. We are convinced she is on the verge of walking, talking, and solving all the world's problems. In August we moved to Berkeley, Calif., so that my wife, Betsy, could begin a three-year seminary program at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. After 13 years in Washington, D.C., I was ready for a change. We love living in the Bay Area along with Todd Wehmann, his wife, Bonnie, and their two sons, Colin and Taylor. I left my position as senior program director with the National Park Foundation and joined the western regional office of the Student Conservation Association, an organization whose mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders through hands-on conservation service. I support our west coast and southwest youth and young adult programming. It is a very rewarding job. Before our move west, we started a blog to keep family and friends updated on Ruby and our life in Berkeley, www.gonzalezfamilyadventures.blogspot.com. I try to regularly update it.

"It is an interesting job involving all forms of personal injury litigation, emergency response in train accidents, and a whole lot of other things.

She looks forward to her second triathlon season and hopes to graduate to Olympic distances. "The endurance sport thing has helped me keep in shape," she writes, and it has also improved my love life as I met my boyfriend while training for a triathlon. I keep in touch with Laura Lingle Whiteley '95, who is a doctor in private practice in Houston. I also had the chance to visit Van Jones '93 in September, when I traveled to South Carolina for the Clemson vs. Texas A&M game. I enjoyed visiting with Van; his wife, Ashley; and their two boys (they have added a third son since my visit)."

You might call me a community evangelist, I suppose. I spend even more of my time building GoodStorm of late, and in that capacity I'm more of a traditional business development director."
