...Born in Hawaii, Hoppe grew up in San Francisco, earned a Harvard liberal arts degree in 1949, then joined the Chronicle as a copy boy. He has been married to his childhood sweetheart for 23 years, likes to cruise with his wife and four children on their three "yachts" -two eight-foot sailboats and a 14-footer. His column now appears in 100 newspapers, and he is embarrassed by how easily he can pick up an extra $1,100 any time he gives a lecture.

First published in 1965, his Between Parent and Child has been translated into 13 languages and has sold an estimated 1.5 million copies.

While playing with Singer Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds on a Manhattan gig, Hawkins, then 19, was heard one night by Band Leader Fletcher Henderson, who signed him and kept him for eleven years. Hawk developed his particular sound-breathy, but also powerful and deep-grounded-in part, as he once said, "because I was trying to play over seven or eight other horns all the time." In 1939, while working with his own combo...
