Re: City of Carmel-by-the-Sea Historic Resources Board Application

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to submit my application for the current vacancy on the
Historic Resources Board of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
I am very interested in preserving Carmel-by-the-Sea as the unique
village that I have been "visiting~~ for as long as I can remember~ even
before my parents purchased a vacation home in the Golden Rectangle
in 1964. My father still owns this home. In 2011, after raising our family
in Silicon Valley1 my husband Mike and I decided to "retire" in Carmel.

I bring a great deal of experience

~o

the Historic Resources Board

having done extensive research on the town and its history for the
Carmel Heritage Society Mayors Project, my blog Carmel-by-the-Sea
Adventures of a Home Town Tourist and my book Historic Homes and
Inns of Carmel-by-the-Sea which is due out in March 2016 from Arcadia

Press.
I spent over nine months researching all of the properties on the
Carmel Inventory of Historic Resources before paring it down to the
154 properties included in my upcoming book. During the course of my
research I became very familiar with Criterion 1- 3 of the California
Criteria of Historic Preservation and its impact on Carmel.
I believe that my love and passion for the preservation of the City of
Carmel-by-the-Sea and its eclectic collection of homes, including a wide
array of styles, time periods, architects, and builders, as well as the
literally hundreds of hours spent researching and writing about their
history, makes me an ideal candidate for this position. I would be
thrilled to be considered.
Sincerely,

~_9/fn4o~
