My name is Robert Quinn from San Francisco . Sister Mary Amata Marie (Ann) is my First cousin too. My Mother was Cecile Mary McCarthy. She had 3 sisters Camille, Doris and Era. All were born in Petaluma, Ca.
Sister (Ann) as my mother referred to her, was a beautiful lady and was very good to me as a young boy.
Although I was a little( gun shy) excuse the expression , of her because I was in a catholic school at that time and I was afraid of the nuns. ha. Anyway, I wanted to be acknowledged as her cousin because I liked her. I was not mentioned in this write up.
God bless you Ann

I am very grateful for the life of Anne Baxter, for her friendship and for the many things I learned about the Enneagram from her. When I was in the Mission Group with her I appreciated the times we had to share life. She was a very humble person. Whenever I would invite her to come to give a presentation about the Enneagram to a group with whom I ministered she always said she was not an expert. I will miss her presence with us and her wonderful smile.
