Description
The daughter of George Hind, the founder and president of the first Board of Trustees for the Katherine Branson School, Helen describes her tenure at the "little red school." In this interview she is joined by Kitty Dibblee, who was Miss Branson's secretary from 1930 until 1935. 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.
