Volunteer Spotlight
By Jorge Morales
The Tustin Area Senior Center is
proud to recognize Don Ropele
in this quarter ’s Volunteer
Spotlight. Don was born in the
City of Los Angeles in the year
1943. He was raised for most
of his life in Santa Ana, until the
year 1968 where he and his wife
Leslie took the opportunity to
move to the great City of Tustin.
Don remembers his parents’ home when he was
growing up. His parents were everything to him and
because of their loving nature they were responsible for
making Don the man he is today. He is noble, intelligent
and one of the most giving human beings the Tustin
Area Senior Center has had the pleasure to work with.
Don graduated from Santa Ana High School. He
attended Santa Ana College for two years and then
transferred to California State University Fullerton.
Don is a father of two children and two beautiful
granddaughters. Don spent many years as the Vice
President of Human Resources at Ralphs until the
year 2000 when he was able to retire. He now spends
most of his time volunteering for the Historical Society,
Tustin Parks and Recreation Department, current
Chair of the Chief Advisory Board for Tustin Police
Department and the CFO of the Tustin Area Senior
Center Fund, Inc.
When Don is not volunteering, he and his wife Leslie like
to travel the world. Some of their travels have included
Europe and Hawaii. His favorite travel experience was
when he went to Hawaii to support his son, a senior at
Tustin High School, compete in a football game Don
will never forget. Apart from traveling, Don is an avid
cyclist. You can find him traveling down many roads here
in Tustin training for one of his many 100 mile races!
The Tustin Area Senior Center is honored to have Don
Ropele as a volunteer. We appreciate the time and
effort Don puts into our center and always look forward
to seeing his smiling face!.

Main Gallery Artists
Anna Peeks
Terri Gammalo
Anna L. Peeks has always been surrounded by creativity,
her uncles and cousins are musicians; and two aunts were
oil painters. Anna has been painting for over twenty years
in watercolor, acrylics and oil. She has studied with Marge
Yaros and is a current student at Teri Gammalo’s Art Studio.
In the past, Anna has attended painting workshops with
Susan Jenkins, Bill Blackman, and Toni Danchik. Anna
views painting as a powerfully creative process: “Once
you drop the paint on the canvas, the subject takes on a
vibrant life of its own”. She enjoys painting landscapes,
wildlife, pet portraits, seascapes and flowers. She belongs
to the Orange Art Association and was recently awarded
an “Honorable Mention” ribbon at the 2013 Orange County
Fair in the Oil, Amateur category.
Wednesday, October 1-Friday, October 31
Teri is an artist with the ability to translate how she feels
about the joy of life.
Many say her paintings are alive with color and while the
viewer is invited to translate the paintings...her statement
is bold and dramatic.
Her award winning work has been juried into many local
and national exhibits, including NWS and WW.
Although predominately self-taught, she has studied with
many notable artists. Years of classes and workshops
have built a valuable body of knowledge.
“Every mentor has taught me something important about
art and the many techniques. The most valuable lesson I
have learned is to believe in myself...”
Currently, Teri is teaching group and private classes. She
teaches a positive approach to art and continues her
artistic journey...as she feels the journey is the best part
of painting, not the destination.

Monday, Nov. 3- Wednesday, Nov. 26

with an emphasis in drawing and painting, primarily in
oil. She also dabbled in ceramics and batik making. After
receiving her teaching credential she became a bilingual
teacher and administrator in various Calif. Districts for 35
years, a demanding profession that rarely allowed time to
pick up a paint brush.
Now, having retired and being able to pursue what she
loves most, she is painting in pastel, oil and watercolors.
An avid admirer of nature, God’s perfect art form, she
attempts to make use of her time by furthering her training
and continuing to be a lifelong art student.
She credits her teachers for contributing to her creative
growth. She has taken classes with Erika Brown, Kamillia
Hardy, Natasha Shoro, Eileen Cleary and Yelena Hyatt and
has participated in workshops in local art galleries.
