Today many front door units cost box,” says Mr. Beckstrom. “His contractor later told me they (Joe and Jennifer Montana) picked doors out they $9,000 or a lot more. In those early days, the company’s products were sold saw in the brochure.” Hollywood has also beckoned.

You don’t see the use of much stained glass anymore, “We have also supplied several winery doors in Napa that says Mr. Beckstrom. “People don’t want color. Rain measure 10 feet wide by 12 feet tall,” says Mr. Beckstrom. Homeowners are also finding bigger is better. “A few years glass, bamboo glass, and seedy glass (patterned glass) ago, the 6-foot, 8-inch tall door was standard. Now many are popular,” he says. Styles in doors come and go. “In the 70s and 80s, the are going for the 8-foot door.” Bob Beckstrom agrees he couldn’t be in a better place for wagon wheel (with a half circle window) was a real hot item. W Now craftsmen-style doors are real popular, especially in this area,” he says. “We sell a lot of doors up in Tahoe. They love mahogany and alder (wood).” Homeowners, especially those with imposing houses, want a door that is rich-looking, not garish. They are looking to make a statement. After all, “The thing you see first is the front door,” he says. An Oregon coast resident wanted a door with glass panels tinted blue to resemble waves. An Asian dragon theme was carried out in carvings on entry doors and in etchings on a second pair of doors in the front entry in another home. Many costly entry ways feature panels of beveled leaded glass. The price tag on an elaborate entry can easily reach $20,000. Mr. Beckstrom represents Summit Woodworking Mill in Oregon. “It started out as two guys working in a garage outside their house, now they have 15 employees.” A custom door usually takes eight to 10 weeks from order to installation. Beckstrom & Co. moved from San Mateo to Menlo Park in 1960. Mr. Beckstrom started working for the company, founded by his father, the late John Beckstrom, in 1968.

World.wikia.com differs from traditional travel guides in that users can create and edit its content, site founder Bill Kaufman said. Visitors to the site can edit information on any page they wish, or create new pages to address a topic that hasn’t yet been covered. It also has the advantages of being free and containing updated information contributed by a number of users, Mr. Kaufman said. World.wikia.com is one of over 1,500 Web sites based on Wikia.com. Each “wiki” addresses a specific topic, ranging from travel to specific TV shows to academic fields. It was founded by James Wales, who also created Wiki- pedia.com, an encyclopedic collection of single articles. Adaptable travel guide World.wikia.com is made up of some 1,000 pages edited by over 50 users, Mr. Kaufman said. He likened World.wikia.com to a home page from which users can browse through geographic regions and learn a wide variety of information about each place. The site also allows users to provide tips about traveling to niche audiences, such as travelers with pets and children, or lesbian and gay travelers. “The community will determine which direction these articles and projects will go, but the purpose of the wiki is to focus on anything a traveler would find relevant,” Mr. Kaufman said. The home page for San Francisco, for instance, features photos of the city, information about politics and transportation, lists of local schools and newspapers, and brief descriptions of other Bay Area cities. It also contains a list of recent and upcoming events. However, the site is far from complete. The Golden Gate Bridge is the only listing under “Bay Area Landmarks,” and currently there are no entries for concert venues, bars or nightclubs. Your place for fitness, fun, and family. • Open swim and laps 7 days per week • Lessons year-round for kids of all levels • Fitness, swim teams, water polo, triathlon • PLUS picnics and Friday Movie Nights! Program info, hours, directions, prices and more: Menlo Swim and Sport Edit away That, Mr. Kaufman said, is where users come in. Before the site can become a viable source for travelers, it will need help from people who have visited or live in the cities listed on the page. “At this point, there are lots of holes in the content,” Mr. Kaufman said. “But that’s part of the attraction for some who want to be the first to add content to a wiki.” Because the project is in the early stages of development, users can list pages that need work on the home page, as well as the cities that they found to be most complete. 501 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025 650-328-SWIM (7946) www.menloswim.com A Keith Kadera joins Coldwell Banker Cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers had this custom door carved with his initials and images of his horse, Trigger. DOOR MAN continued from page 29 Bob Beckstrom is a graduate of Menlo-Atherton High School, class of 1960, and president of the Menlo-Atherton Alumni Association. After graduating from Humboldt State University, he worked for United Air Lines for a few years. “My dad asked me to watch the store for him while he had a cataract operation. I never left. I hope Rob will do the same.” Rob is his son, who joined the firm in 2003. “I needed his computer savvy,” says his dad. Father and son run a two-man office, located on the second floor of 648 Menlo Ave. in downtown Menlo Park. All three of the Beckstrom children, Rob, Lori and Casey, are M-A graduates. Bob and his wife, Mary, live in Menlo Oaks. Ms. Beckstrom is a teacher at Laurel School. Mr. Beckstrom is used to people making jokes about The Doors, asking him if he is a fan of the late singer, Jim Morrison. He has his own little joke. At the old Town Club, once the hangout for Menlo Park movers and shakers, he sometimes contributed the door prize. It was, of course, a door, courtesy of Beckstrom & Co. A Keith Kadera is a new sales associate at the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office at 800 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, office manager Wendy McPherson has announced. He previously worked as senior director of sales training and business alliances at Hitachi Data Keith Kadera Systems. He and his wife own 1-800-DryClean, a free pickup and delivery service for dry cleaning and laundry. Mr. Kadera is co-chief ambassador for the Redwood City Chamber of Commerce and is chairperson for the Hometown Holidays Festival for Kids in downtown Redwood City. A past president of the Kennedy Middle School PTA, he annually chaperones a 10-day, seventhgrade Grand Canyon trek.

The production, which will be directed by TheatreWorks Artistic Director Robert Kelley, will be staged at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Kelley directed the theater company’s first production of the play in 1992 — a staging that won wide critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences. Francis Jue will return to the role of Song Liling, for which he won several awards during the 1992 run. Mark Capri reprises his portrayal of Rene Gallimard. “M Butterfly” — described by TheatreWorks as a “passionate deconstruction of Puccini’s classic Italian opera ‘Madame Butterfly’” — is based on the true story of a French diplomat who had an affair with a Chinese opera star whom he believed to be a woman. The opera star not only turned out to be a man, but a spy as well. Tickets are $20-$55. They may be reserved by calling 903-6000; or by visiting theatreworks.org.
