I am from singers and teachers, from Christian culture, from Finnish stock and Sonoma County residents since the Gold Rush. I’m from Gravenstein apples and the best homemade fudge. What and who are you from?
Today, let us honor our roots, and acknowledge what we have grown from that heritage. You are encouraged to bring pictures or small mementos to place on our collective altar.
