i met Kai and Paul briefly at the "holiday commune" in the santa cruz hills in 1967. much later (97) i re-met her through some german shepherd folks here in oregon. she was impressed enough to give me and my gf 2 puppies. only 2 were in that litter, which i believe were the last which Kai helped bring into this world. we were honored.
occasionally we would be telephoned by her to her house on fox pond to help with minor emergencies. being only an hour away, it was our pleasure. (anyone interested in seeing her last house can use "google earth" and search 42 59 19.84N, 123 45 37.97W). the huge clearcut occurred after her passing. zoom in and you will see an awesome house and solitary location. she grew increasingly secretive and paranoid as time went on, eventually hiring some people to assist with daily living. it was here that her judgement began to fail. i too, heard that some of her "help", took what they wanted. a sad end to a really cosmic lady.
