Remembering Richard Siegel

As members of ChaiVillageLA, we have all been touched by Rich Siegel. As leaders who worked along side Rich for the past several years, we wish to share our thoughts with you.

Hi, my name is Sharon Baumgold. I served nearly four decades as a lead writ attorney in the Second District of the California Court of Appeal in LA. I am married to a former New Yorker who will never retire, and we are proud parents of two hard-working daughters and one son by marriage. We all sing in the family choir at Temple Emanuel and I love dancing and art. Oh, and I also run the ChaiVillageLAFacebook page.
