One correction to be made is that Susan Clark had three children - two daughters and one son, not the three daughters as was mentioned.
An addition to the biography of Patricia Ditzler should include mention that she was also instrumental in the joyous design of The Sea Ranch Chapel. Robert and Betty Buffum were the generous benefactors who made the creation of the chapel possible. This was to honor the memory of Patricia and Lyle Ditzler's son Kirk Ditzler.
