So nice
to read that David
and Marsha Karpeles are still investing in the area and rebuilding after
the debris flow) and to see that Joan
Wells is endorsing a candidate. Joan and Supervisor David Yager were
helpful in getting my Toro Canyon lot split approved in 1979.
David and
Marsha were acquaintances in the 1980-90s. They visited my Toro ranch for a BBQ
c 1985, and I once played Dave a couple games of chess — and lost all of them.
I heard he was a former president of the Santa Barbara Chess club and held a
Master rating. David and Marsha now sponsor the Karpeles Manuscript
Library/Museum. Nice folks all of them!
