Letter from the Editor - March/April 2011
Can you imagine working in the same business with your former spouse after you’ve been divorced? Three couples in Up Front have, and they find it challenging but less difficult than you might think.
Theresa and Joe Ernest of Valpak and Alexa Person and Glenn Levy of Groovy Movie Productions find collaboration not only possible but satisfying. Joe and Diana Begley of Aria Medical Equipment were business partners for seven years, including a post-divorce period, but Ed has now retired and Diana has assumed leadership of the company.
Our Profile subject, Dr. Kimberly Finder, knew she wanted to be a doctor from the time she was a child, but she came to her specialty, dermatology, almost by accident. It was the elective course available when she was at Brooke Army Medical Center, and she fell in love with it.
As the earth greens up for spring and Earth Day (April 22) approaches, SAN ANTONIO WOMAN visits three companies whose owners put respect for Mother Earth among their business commitments. Read about Barbara McIlhany of Birkenstock General Store, Duang Hanesworth of Big Grass and Maribel Gonzalez of Pure Green Cleaning Service. It’s also fun to consider using natural and homemade beauty products as described in Beauty and Fitness.
Fashion provides clues to one look for spring clothes. Expect bright colors, prints, texture and a variety of silhouettes. Environments visits a beautifully preserved Italianate home in Monte Vista, while Dining explores Korean fare at Ilsong Garden.
Our Role Model, Catherine O’Gorman, switched from a successful business career to begin Bonus Points, a tutoring and college counseling service. ShopSA anticipates Fiesta and Easter on its shopping list.
Arts and Culture focuses on two spring favorites — Fiesta and Contemporary Art Month — and ArtBeat introduces artist Connie Lowe of UTSA, who is curating an exhibition at the Southwest School of Art during CAM.
In our wine feature you’ll learn about when (and whether) to decant wines. There are practical hints for tax season in Dollars & Sense and some valuable tips on instilling honesty in children in Mommy Matters.
Health Matters touts the benefits of three power foods — blueberries, foods containing Omega-3s and coffee — in our diet. And Scene Around Town looks back on some of the past season’s gala events and the causes they benefited.
Special sections pay tribute to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and maintaining wellness for women. Read them and get ready to greet spring.
