Terminal Whimsy show-host Andrea Jacobson was lost to cancer on January 7th.  Andrea always said her show wasn't about music, but about ideas.    One show, called 'twinkling pianos,"  was dedicated to piano pieces that featured arpeggios.  Another show featured acoustic guitar solos by musicians with "smiles in their fingers." 

Andrea was born in New Jersey in 1944.  She was a disciplined scholar as well as a creative artist.  She won a full scholarship to Cornell University, where she got her masters degree in Home Economics and Design. 

Andrea was involved in many different kinds of activities.  She was a valued player on the 4-person bocce ball team, called Fore Play, of course.  She has friends from her stay at Pomo Tierra Ranch in Yorkville.  Andrea had a graphics business, Curlymind Productions, which featured her intricate and 'curly' designs.  In the 70's she was part owner of the Philo Cafe, and had another business in Ukiah, the Sewing Corner.  Andrea taught math in the ROP program at Ukiah High and was treasurer of her teachers' union, the Mendocino County Federation of School Employees.  In her last days, she helped start up the new "Lovin' Blooms" nursery in Anderson Valley.  Andrea is deeply missed by her singing cohorts, the "Bronnettes," as well as her many colleagues at KZYX-Z.

One other note:  It was Andrea's pledge and gift of $10,000 that allowed us to reach our goal at the last pledge drive.  So, along with our love comes our deepest gratitude.
