Description
In this oral history, longtime Mill Valley residents Frank and Frances Dittle discuss their lives in Mill Valley, including raising five sons together. Frank was drafted in April of 1941 and served four years in the Aleutian Islands. Before and after the draft Frank worked for General Time Corporation in San Francisco, spending 40 years total with the company. In this oral history, Frank and Frances touch upon the great Mill Valley fire of 1929, and Frances describes changes in the Dittles' neighborhood, including new construction and remodels.
