Sandra CH Smith, at age 11, spent the school year in the Scottish Highlands and all her spare time there exploring dark, dank dungeons. As a Beatnik teen in San Francisco's North Beach, she hung out with Kesey, Ginsberg and other Beat writers. Thirty years later, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was a frequent guest/crew aboard her hot pink sailboat docked at Pier 39 where she lived aboard for several years while teaching herself to sail . After studying Foreign Affairs and International Economics at GW Univ. in D.C. where she served as constituent liaison for U.S. Senator Wayne Morse, Smith went on to obtain a Master's degree in French Studies from Grenoble Univ., France, becoming an expert on French wines, cheeses and Cognac. Her past high-profile careers include: assistant to Hewlett-Packard's director in Geneva, Switz.; lobbyist for major Arts and Cultural organizations including The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and The Franklin Institute; director of Santa Cruz County Arts Council and Springfield (MO) Regional Arts Council; newspaper editor; Shakespearean/dramatic actor with many companies including Phila. Opera, Pennsylvania Opera and San Francisco Opera; exec. chef; B&B owner-innkeeper; and while single-handed sailing the Pacific, host of her own on-board "As The Anchor Drags" radio show. Now in joyful recovery from alcoholism, Smith continues to celebrate many years of sobriety. She is currently working on "In To The Light" (a sequel to Out of the Fog! A Story of Survival, Faith and Courage) which promises to be packed with more of her 4,000-mile sea-going adventures. For info: SandraCHSmith.com
