Description
A retired architect and decorator, Clifford is interviewed at his 10-acre Cypress Grove site in Marshall, which he bequeathed to the Audubon Canyon Ranch. An active conservationist, Clifford describes the history of his property, the restoration of the Lyford House in Tiburon, and his participation in the Audubon Society. 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.
