Description
Born on June 16th, 1928, in the San Francisco Presidio, Charles "Chuck" Crawford spent the first 13 years of his life in the bustling Outer Mission neighborhood of San Francisco. On the weekends, his family would take the ferry, and then later the brand new Golden Gate Bridge, to visit his maternal grandparents in Mill Valley. During these trips, his parents fell in love with the town and decided to move up north. After settling in Mill Valley, Chuck attended Tamalpais High School, where he would later teach. During his teens, he worked as a delivery boy for the Varney Brothers as well as Brown's Furniture Store. Chuck remembers the local hang outs for teens and the influence of World War II in Mill Valley during that time. Throughout his interview, Chuck reminisces about the changes he's seen take place in Mill Valley over the years.
