We Value Friendship, Justice, and Deep Listening
Peterson Toscano & Glen Retief
Quakers can be some of the most thoughtful and deep people I know, especially when it comes to being sensitive and curious about all sides of an issue. During a business meeting, I am regularly surprised to hear perspectives I never considered before. That deep curiosity and commitment to greater understanding is valuable to me.
I love to cook and eat, which complement each other nicely. I seek out art, nature, conversations around a fire, and walks in cities and woods, and I enjoy camping with my husband, Glen. Creativity is central to my life, so I pursue a variety of inventive activities that stir my imagination. These include writing, theater, and audio production.
Mint Chocolate Chip
A homemade coleslaw salad with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanuts, and chopped carrots OR if I am less organized, a tray of sandwiches or cookies I buy at the Weis on my way to meeting.
