Janet White Janet was born in 1951, right here in the Bay Area, and has stayed put. She heard her first Baba quote in 1966 when an older high schooler said, "Have you seen those posters with the photo of the man who says 'You and I are not we but us'?". She was reading the Discourses by 1967, so she found the straight stuff soon enough to keep her on the right track; and she's been doing her best to stay on it ever since. Philip Karantzalis An avid reader, Philip was given by Baba's Grace an irrevocable intellectual conviction of His Divinity while reading the Discourses in 1977. Since then, after years of pounding his false ego into uselessness, Baba flooded Philip's heart with His Unfathomable Love. Now that his two children are adults, Philip feels he has the time to be of some use (by Baba's Grace) as a member of MBCN Board. Philip works in Milpitas as an Electronic Engineer and leaves in Newark. Greg Dunn Meher Baba caught Greg's eye in 1972 on a "Don't Worry Be Happy" poster tacked to a telephone poll on University Avenue in Berkeley. (If you're the person who put it there: thanks very much!). Six weeks and a few Baba meetings later he was a happily caught fish. His first conscious contact with a Baba lover was a remarkable chat at Meherstahn with Scott Makeig. Having returned to Texas to complete school, Greg co-founded the Friends of Meher Baba, a student group at the University of Texas at Austin in the mid 1970's. A decade later, while living in Southern California, Greg Dunn served as Caretaker and a board member of the Avatar Meher Baba Center of Southern California; as co-Chairperson of the L.A. Sahavas; and as editor of the Love Street Lamp Post, which he co-founded with his wife Gay, a graphic artist. He was a founding board member and Director of Communications for Meherana, founding and editing for several years the Meherana Messenger. Professionally, Greg is the Manager of Training and Documentation for IdeaBlade, an Emeryville-based software company. He enjoys music, bicycling, gardening, friends, and family time. Ron Greenstein Ron Greenstein came into Meher Baba's orbit in his original hometown of Miami, Florida in 1970-71. After being an active participant in Baba activities in Miami, he moved to the Bay Area in 1976 taking up where he left off by getting involved with the local Baba groups. It may be said that when it comes to singing, writing songs, and submitting letters to the editor, Ron is an excellent cook. Billy Baum Billy Baum came to Meher Baba in 1969 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was much involved with the group and center there in the 1970s. After 2 years in the Washington, DC, area, he moved to New Hampshire and taught at the University of New Hampshire for 22 years. He moved to San Francisco in 1999.
