Description
This is Frank Baumgardner with Ms. Barbara Bertoli today, and she is the daughter of Mr. Tom Wright who was the first and foremost employee in Sebastopol of the Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railway. He worked his way up all the way up from one point as a brakeman and a trolley pop, I think he referred to himself as the guy who changed the trolley who make sure the trolley was in line for the next line. He served in every capacity of the railway and I'묨¬¢m sure his daughter will have many views and will help us with insight in the electric runway. First 3 minutes of tape are hard to hear but then clears up.
