Carolyn Chase, shown here with a security guard, is our "Earth Mother." She coordinated the San Diego Earth Day Coalition in 1990 that resulted in the first EarthFair and got this whole thing off the ground. She is currently a Board Member and Executive Director of EarthWorks, as well as a columnist for the San Diego Daily Transcript and editor of the San Diego Earth Times.

Chris Klein, right, shown here with volunteer Keith, was the chief designer of the EarthFair in 1990, creating the physical layout, volunteer training and management structure, and logistic plan. He still serves as Production Manager. Chris is publisher of the San Diego Earth Times and a website designer.

J, in the middle, has taken on a number of jobs over the years, including Area Manager and Communications Coordinator.When not helping at EarthFair, J is a software engineer.

For four years, Kim was responsible for Transportation -- probably the most demanding job at the EarthFair. Kim works as an engineer for the City of San Diego.

Steve, shown here with his daughter Astral and his new granddaughter, has been our superb Communications Coordinator for many years. Steve is a financial analyst with the US Postal Service

Mark Tighe, left, has served as Chris' key assistant and troubleshooter every year. Mark is a master carpenter

John and Julaine are two longtime players. John has been Area Manager for the Food Area for most of his 9 years, probably the toughest area to manage. Julaine is an SDEW Board Member, and helped pioneer our Community Restoration and Renewal Project. John is a software engineer and Julaine is Director of Sales & Marketing.

 

And then there's Keith. He's been with SDEW since Day 1. We're not exactly sure what he does at the Fair, but he seems to be indispensable. Keith is a software engineer and educator.
