Kezia Cooper Hobson flew from San Francisco to New York in first class,
with four big suitcases that held the last of her things she was bringing to
New York. Everything had been sent ahead weeks before, her clothes, all
her mementos, her papers and personal treasures.
Her furniture and art were
due to arrive at the end of August. She’d been living at the Ritz-Carlton in
San Francisco for the last month, while she concluded the sale of both her
Pacific Heights home and her share of the venture capital firm she had
inherited from her husband, Andrew Hobson, when he had died of Covid19 five years before, after a business trip to China. Twenty years older than
Kezia, he was seventy-five at the time, vital, healthy, active, handsome,
successful, and youthful for his age. The virus had hit him hard and he was
dead in five days. He was a wonderful person from a wholesome
Midwestern background. He had gone west to Stanford for college and
business school, established his groundbreaking business in San Francisco,
and remained there.
Andrew Hobson had been one of the legends of early venture capital and
one of its innovators in high-tech and biotech investments.
The firm he had founded originally with two partners had been bought by
a newer, larger venture capital firm, since Andrew’s partners had been older
than he and were now well into their eighties. The life had gone out of
Weintraub, Mills, and Hobson once Andrew was gone, with his incredible
energy and constant daring new ideas. One of his partners was ill now, the
other eager to retire, and the offer they received for the firm had come at the
right time. Kezia had been active on the board since Andrew’s death.
Originally from a small town in Vermont, the only child of a widowed
and dedicated country doctor, Kezia had shared a thrilling life with Andrew.
She had met him at a high-tech medical conference she went to in San
Francisco, and married him not long after that, when she was thirty-five.
The twenty years they had been married had been extraordinary, and
profoundly happy. He had shown and taught and shared things with her that
she would never have experienced otherwise.
San Francisco had been the
perfect small city to bring up their two daughters, with an agreeable cultural
life and active business life for him of major international proportions with
important investments in Asia, and good schools for their two girls. But
once widowed at fifty-five, she found the city small and lifeless and limited.
It was a lonely life for her. Everyone in her social circle was married, many
of the men to younger women, much younger than Kezia by then. Her girls,
Kate and Felicity, had gone east to college and never moved back to San
Francisco. They loved living in New York, so Kezia traveled there
