@ehBeth,
Yes, Alexis taught me to play with the dreidel..
we had an odd landscape arch firm: the owner, a born in america kid, although in a camp to enclose japanese, who was sort of buddhist and, now, today, is a catholic; an observant jewish woman, of whom I speak, from whom I learned a lot, although I also learned a lot from Harvey, he with the PBS program; me, clear atheist but not particularly loud, having been other than atheist; and some mixed, with which religion never came up. Guessing a mix of lapsed catholics and not observant protestants, maybe just not at work talkative on that subject, given the other matters re work.
We talked about other stuff at lunch, mostly. But we didn't avoid religion if it came up.
Maybe there were few evangelicals wanting jobs in land design back then - or maybe not. Those probably went to cal poly. Not snarky, just thinking demographically.
