Faye received her B.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley that year. Sandor completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Berkeley in 1972...

Named after their cats Fireworks and Dolly, The Firedoll Foundation helps non-profits fight the good fight for environmental conservation and justice, immigrant rights, community development, Mid-East peace, and offers support for those affected by traumatic brain injury.
