This week, we’re joined by fifth-generation San Franciscans Beth Purcell and John Kohler. Beth, influenced by SF’s hippie movement, left at 16 to live in a school bus in Oregon. She later studied midwifery and lived off-grid in Hawaii before settling in Santa Cruz. Now a well-known artist, Beth enjoys making art, cooking, gardening, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. John Kohler kept his roots closer to home. He’s spent 30 years in Bay Area education and is an active member of the SF Historical Society. Now living in Oakland, John enjoys family time, cooking, and showing friends around his home city. Tune in to hear how 5 generations of San Franciscans influenced the lives of these wonderful natives! Meet Beth Purcell and John Kohler!
