| | 12.09.98 - Staff Profile: Shirley Dean |
 | | For the happily workaholic Dean, mornings begin in her Sproul cubbyhole, where she serves as an analyst for UARS Director Bob Laird -- staffing two faculty committees, reading applications, visiting high schools, answering letters from disappointed parents and serving on the office's publications team. |
 | | Dean started her political career by organizing the Bonita-Berryman Neighborhood Association, which led to her appointment in 1971 to the city's Planning Commission. |
 | | At 64, Dean has no interest in retiring, but if she ever slows down, she'd like to write the inside story of Berkeley politics, pen an epic novel, quilt, learn photography and get back to painting, drawing, cooking and gardening. |
