I would not have paid attention to who was directing choir at GC. I was raised in UPC churches in Alaska, then the Deep South, then Texas and had never heard her name until the 90's in conjunction with her son.
This doesn't mean others like yourself had not but in the UPC churches I was around not a peep. For one thing I don't think most of the churches I was around approved of female pastors so she would not have been talked about except maybe in the privacy of their homes.
I also don't recall a single meeting in Alaska, Mississippi, Lousiana, or Texas that I knew of her speaking at. She was a West Coast personality.
I have heard wonderful things about her from UPC acquaintances who traveled in ministry within the UPC and were familiar with the West Coast and her work in SF.
