My name is Dean Schenker. I am a native Angeleno, born off the Hollywood Freeway late in WWII. After growing up in various neighborhoods around the city, I moved to Berkeley for undergrad, Michigan for grad school and Russia for doctoral research. Since I got married 42 years ago, I have lived where Beverlywood joins Cheviot Hills.
