Gina is the youngest of three children. She began her apprenticeship with
her father when she was fourteen. She played the clarinet in elementary and high schools in
Sebastopol and attended the Santa Rosa Junior College. On March 20, 1998, Gina gave birth to a son, Jacob, beginning the next generation of instrument repair technicians. She is seen here working on an old and unusual Holton bass saxophone.
