Andrea Papke
Though I was born and raised in Oregon I lived in Downtown San Francisco for a few years just (2) two blocks from the Haight/Ashbury District. Born into the hippie movement I spent many days listening to music in the Golden Gate Park with my flower child Mom.
Growing up in Oregon mostly, however in many different towns such as Newport,Oregon I fished and spent many days on the beach. When our family relocated to Fairhaven,Massachu., I enjoyed swimming and sailing. Once leaving Marthas Vineyard in August 1986 our 25 ft. sail got caught in Hurricane Charley. It was a struggle to make it home as the monstrous waves broke the tiller, then our radio went out. When we had left it was smooth but the weather has a funny way of change. We followed the light which was "The Butler Flats" lighthouse. That lighthouse is one of only a few that is still in operation. Most are sold at auction to be used as homes.
I studied Art and Writing in Portland, Oregon. After that I drove myself to sunny California. I could never let go of those days in the Golden Gate Park.
Though I do work as an apartment manager now- when I first came here I worked as a cocktail waitress and as a Hostess in high end clubs. Tried my luck at acting but do not have a passion/ or talent for it. I use to model for jewelry auctions in the early 90's for Kelly Girl, but my true passion is a blank page and reading. However I enjoy cooking, making recipes (mostly pies) and jewelry making.
