Description
Great-grandson of James Ross, third owner of Rancho Punta de Quentin which embraces most of Ross Valley. He recalls early Ross Valley (1910 forward), San Anselmo, the Worn properties, the Worn sisters and their floral decorating business. He also tells of the founding of his Sunnyside Nursery, his business and plant growing in Fairfax. From 1974 to 1984, Carla Ehat, with partner Anne Kent, and later Genevieve Martinelli, interviewed a broad spectrum of Marin County's long-time residents, from ranchers to politicians, including descendants of early pioneer families. This program was co-sponsored by the Marin County Free Library and the Moya Library in Ross. The resulting archive, consisting of nearly 300 recordings and their corresponding transcriptions, are housed in the Anne T. Kent California Room at the Civic Center branch of the Marin County Free Library.
