About our Primary Contributors

• Dennis Freeze (also known as DFF): currently in his third career as graphic/Web designer (see www.MonolithDesign.com), teacher (associate faculty at College of the Redwoods) and avid photographer. In his second incarnation, Dennis was co-owner of the Agate Cove Inn B&B in Mendocino. During this time, he first published his guidebook to the area, Mendocino Outdoors. Prior to that, Dennis was a computer scientist and researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, CA. “Once a geek, always a geek.” He has served as president of both the Mendocino Business Association and the Mendocino County Lodging Association, and is a past board member of the Mendocino County Promotional Alliance and the Kelley House Museum in Mendocino. And no, there aren’t any standing stones in Mendocino — the picture is from Callanish in the Outer Hebrides.
• Bruce Lewis: photographer, journalist and co-owner of Lewis & Summers Public Relations, Bruce and wife, Gerry, have been Coast residents since May of 2000. Author of the blog, LightBackpacking.com, he’s an avid hiker and backpacker. He’s a member of Mendocino Rotary and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 87, which maintains the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, which is a federal aid to navigation. At right, Bruce holds (with rubber gloves) the Point Cabrillo light changer – a 1,000 watt bulb and backup. The Fresnel (pronounced Fra-nell) Lens is visible 14 miles out to sea.
