Four SFMOMA alums/longtime staffer: Tina was managing editor of the Voices & Images of California Art CD-ROM and has worked at the Getty forever (or at least since then); Rachel Hartsough (néé Gerstein) was the first IET hire as Proj. Mgr. Making Sense of Modern Art in those harried days leading up to the Museum's opening in Jan. 1995, but has lived in Nevada for 10 years; Tana is the IET Producer today, basically the same position Tina and Rachel held in a vastly expanded program; and Dana, who was an intern back in those early days, is now the Sr. Web Manager at the Museum. Brava! Brava! (P.S. Three are Moms and Dana just got engaged. I bet they had lots of stories to tell…)
