                                GLARP KEY BIOGRAPHIES


Veronica St. Claire, President and CEO

Veronica St. Claire is of Scottish descent, born in England and raised in a 
small town in Shorpshire where, as an "Air Force Brat", she learned early 
about being an outsider.  Her first crush was on Brenda Leas, her babysitter, 
when she was four years old. After living in France she came to the United 
States to work at a United Nations delegation. 

St. Claire has a background in history, social work, and law. She owned a 
wholesale beer business before administrating Mary Thorndal's legal practice 
for the past twelve years.

She has lived with Mary Thorndal for fifteen years, enjoying their Chow Chow 
dog, Rufus, and their granddaughter, Serena, who is a frequent visitor. Their 
relationship survived a major remodel of their house because they promised 
each other that "remodeling should be a fun experience" -- well, it was, most 
of the time.

Mary Thorndal, Executive Director, CFO and Secretary

Born and raised in North Dakota, Thorndal was the youngest and the only girl 
in a family of four. She learned the art of negotiation at the dinner table.

After college, Thorndal entered the US Army Nurse Corp, serving for a year at 
Pleiku in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Returning home, she attended graduate 
school and then taught at the University of North Dakota and the University of 
Arizona before entering law school in California.

Her first law position was with Melvin Belli. In 1985, with the encouragement 
of her life partner, Veronica St. Claire, Mary opened her own law practice, 
specializing in plaintiff civil litigation.

She has been in a committed relationship with Veronica St. Claire since 1982 
and in business with her for the majority of that time.
