Welcome to my page, Yosemite4. I chose this screen name a long time ago, in reference to the old climbing camp at the foot of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. I am just a peak-bagging book publisher, but got to know so many of the rock climbers from the old days in Yosemite.
Transparency
I believe in transparency and working together to make something happen as opposed to putting up obstacles and fighting. Most of the Wiki articles I hope to submit are inspired by a person I have known, or that I think has made a significant contribution that went unrecognized, perhaps because they weren't on the radar or didn't play their politics correctly.
Talk
If you press the 'talk' button up top, we can talk on this page. I really love F2F interaction and talking with people. Taught for many years at UCLA, which because of its diverse student population was one of my favorite life experiences. I loved my students and sharing the learning experience with them.
Print
Print once made the world go round. For five hundred years, the process of bookmaking, literally remained the same. Some people still believe paper is gold. Am a print person who loves the smell of ink on a freshly printed sheet and once, long ago, marking up a typewritten sheet for a typesetter.
Conflict of Interest Statement
I am the eldest daughter of retired news journalist Joseph Benti and would like to write a policy compliant article about him for Wikipedia. I am also a print book publisher and own Spotted Dog Press[1], which republished the important book Born Free and Equal[2] by Ansel Adams on the internment of American citizens at Manzanar in Inyo County, California. The book was at press on 9/11/2001, when I made an editorial decision to add an abstracted image of the American flag behind the cover image of Joyce Nakamura Okazaki[3]. Those who survived the WWII internment, and are still alive today, were children and American citizens at the time of their internment.
