I had an opportunity share a presentation on June 22, 2025, with San Jose Friends Meeting. It concerned Joel and Hannah Bean, key figures in the development of Quakerism in the Western United States, and examined the history and current importance of “Beanite Friends.”

Here is a link to the presentation.
