“We are planning on attending 50th reunion. Sounds like a lot of fun. If we don't get any rain this winter, their will be less fishing trips. Please send some of your rain and snow our way to help the crops and drinking water problem. Take care and talk to you soon.Ken”

"We got the save the date and plan to be there. Anxious to attend, unless Jim's progress with the foot changes our plans. Bill fell off a retaining wall and broke his left leg close to the ball and socket joint and he crushed his left foot. Needless to say we have spent our time in Surgery or at post op appointments on one or the other injury. He is walking now with a crutch and a boot but is still kind of wobbly."

Saving Steinbeck's House Valley Guild Keeps Greatness Alive
The Salinas Californian article by Dave Nordstrand January 9, 2014, [email protected]
The volunteer group who saved and maintains Salinas’ most famous landmark, the 117-year-old Steinbeck House, is turning 40. That calls for a celebration, say members of the Valley Guild, as the group calls itself.
I see Leigh, I see Peggy
Maybe a spaghetti and meatball dinner should be part of the festivities, because spaghetti and meatballs was the Nobel Prize winning author’s favorite dish. Maybe a free lunch each day for a month to various customers. Plans by the guild are in progress.
Meanwhile, group members continue their daily work. Over four decades, the guild has kept the 15-room Steinbeck House, in which the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist was born Feb. 27, 1902, in pristine shape.
John at the Lone Cypress
“The value of this house is that it’s the birthplace of John Steinbeck, and we’ve opened its doors to people world-wide who want to see where Steinbeck was born,” said Nancy Montana, a guild volunteer and spokeswoman. “At the same time, we attract visitors and money into Salinas.”
The guild bought the house at 132 Central Ave. in 1973 from the diocese of Monterey. In doing so, it saved the house. The wrecking ball had been scheduled to turn the Queen Anne-style Victorian’s sturdy timbers into piles of redwood splinters just three weeks later.
Had that happened, more apartments might have stood where the Steinbeck House sits today.
“Instead, people come from around the world because they’ve been enthralled by Steinbeck’s vivid use of the language and by the tempo of his work,” said Toni Bernardi, guild president. “We can’t let this valuable piece of history just disappear.”
Visitors arrive at the house. They come for a lunch prepared by a professional chef and served by guild members. They sit and visit in the same spaces in which Steinbeck thought and interacted with his family.
Living room looking toward parlor(which faces Central Avenue)
The guild even retrieved items that had belonged to Steinbeck – his harmonica, his graduation ring, his silver baby spoon – items which it displays and which become part of every visitor’s experience. The guild also operates the house’s Best Cellar Gift Shop.
The visitors come from the Salinas area, of course. They come, too, from Ohio and Iowa and New York and Florida but from Germany, Japan, Denmark, Australia and most every country, Bernardi said. Slowly, reverently, they step off their tour buses. A sense of Steinbeck lingers in the rooms of the house. It radiates from the framed family wall-photos.
Emotions surface. Some visitors cry, Bernardi said. It was in the Steinbeck House, after all, that young John, a 1919 Salinas High graduate, wrote his first short stories. With a false name attached, with no return address, he’d wrap up his fledgling stories and mail them to magazines. Then he’d wait to see if they’d be published. It was in that house on Central Avenue, too, that he wrote his first books, “The Red Pony” and “Tortilla Flat.” *(the bedroom where he did some of his writing is upstairs. This is the room that is most talked about as being his bedroom. It is directly above what was the master bedroom (where John was born) and is now the reception room. It looks out toward Central Avenue.)
Preservation of all that became a possibility in 1971, when the guild was organized.
A small group of civic-minded women who shared a love of cooking and admired the freshness of valley produce had the idea to create a restaurant. Profits would go to charity. The group’s first recorded business meeting was in January 1972. The “Valley Guild,” was the name they gave themselves. The guild’s first fundraiser was a garage sale.
The women were also hunting for a location for their guild. By 1973, the Steinbeck House was on the market. The women launched a fast-paced campaign to raise the needed money. Volunteers washed cars, held raffles, cooked homemade dinners and asked for donations. A jumbo thermometer at Alisal and Main streets kept the
public apprised of the progress. The guild raised over $80,000 in 49 days. By September, it was able to buy house from the owner, the diocese of Monterey. Remodeling began.
On Feb. 27, 1974, Steinbeck’s birthday, the guild opened the house to the public.
It’s obvious from scattered references that the house in which Steinbeck grew up influenced his imagination and seeped into his prose.
In “East of Eden,” for example, Steinbeck described the room in which he was born as “a pleasant little bedroom.” It was, he said, “crowded with photographs, bottles of toilet water, lace pin cushions, brushes and combs and the china and silver bureau-knacks of many birthdays and Christmases.” *(This room is to the left as you enter the front door. The room has his baby portrait as well as an adult portrait. There is a settee under the window now. That is exactly where he was born. The bed frame is displayed in the Best Cellar Gift Store. ) Steinbeck was born in the house’s master bedroom Feb. 27, 1902. The outside look of the structure crops up in “East of Eden,” too.
“On an impulse he turned off Main Street and walked up Central Avenue to number 130 …,” he wrote in that novel. “It was an immaculate and friendly house, grand enough but not pretentious, and it sat inside its white fence surrounded by its clipped lawn and roses and contoneasters lapped against its walls.”

The guild has made extensive work on the structure to include upgrading its foundation. Front and side porches have been repaired. The home has been repainted several times in colors true to the original ones.
The house has a great future, provided the public doesn’t take the effort for granted and so long as people step forward to join the ranks of volunteers, Bernardi said.
“What surprises me most is that I meet so many people from Salinas and Monterey who’ve never been to the Steinbeck House,” she said. “So one thing we’ll be doing in the future is trying to get more of the community to support us, because I just can’t imagine Salinas without this house.”

Letter to the Editor
The Salinas Californian, January, 2014 Kudos to Fox Theatre
I just wanted to share with the community the great service that was provided to my family and friends by the staff at the Fox Theatre. I had been stressed for weeks before the event. I wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. I called Anthony (owner/manager) almost daily and text messaged him with question after question and he always responded. He was never too busy to answer my questions or offer suggestions regarding our event. On the day of the event, the staff was so helpful in all areas of the party, and each member of the staff was so polite and respectful. I want to thank all the Fox Theatre staff that worked our event. Because of your excellent service, the event was perfect and will always be remembered for that. Signed…Salinas resident
Let us know you're coming

I loved the January Newsletter , especially the Valentine's cards. :-) The news of everyone was also good. My first jobs away from home were also babysitting in the neighborhood. However the babysitting which stands out in my memory is the two summers when I spent a week and then 10 days (I think) babysitting the three John Struve (Struve and Laporte Funeral Home) children at Lake Tahoe. That was a lot of work, but also fun. I ice skated for the first time when we all went to the ice rink at Squaw Valley. The Olympics was there in 1960 and my memory tells me that we skated on the rink which was built for the Olympics. It was beautiful. I also met and shook the hand of Senator Alan Cranston when I had the kids at the pier at the lake.
And then I remember when I made spaghetti for myself and the kids and the pasta came out all stuck together. Mrs. Struve thought it might be the altitude, but she was probably just being nice to this 15 year old babysitter.
I went to the blogspot tonight and reviewed the In Memorium.

Sad to see we have lost so many already including my closest neighbor Betty Taylor
and one of my best friends (and a close neighbor who lived just behind
Betty) Joy Whitson. Stay Warm! Gail
DANNY CASEY, Tacoma, [email protected]
My first job was bussing tables at the Pancake House on North Main. I was 14 years old and recall that Bob Hoefke (the elder) was the manager. Bob was a retired Army sergeant and he treated the male employees that worked under him as if we
were recruits in boot camp. He was a tough cookie and I didn't like how he "picked" on me. I recall one time I was on call. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I wanted to play . . . not work. The phone rang at 7 AM and Bob told me he needed me to come to work. I told him I couldn't because I had a golf date. He responded with . . . "You don't golf . . get your butt down here". So . . of course, I did. It was fun having the money earned to do with what I wanted. I purchased my first motorcycle with money saved up from this job (a Yamaha 80).
Steve Markley Santa Paula, [email protected]
My first job was mowing the lawn for my Dad and still had to pay for room and board. If I did the lawn once a week he would only charge me $65.00 a month instead of $75.00. I got the $65.00 from mowing other lawns plus paying back my Dad for the loan he made me to buy a gas-powered lawn mower. That was my first job, but I was just kidding about paying for room and board until the summer of 64. I had to pay $100.00 a month, but my sister said I could live with her for $60.00.
Let's see now,
save $40.00 a month and live on Old Stage Road instead of with my parents in the flat tops in North Salinas.
No brainier here. Hello Sister!!
Actually my very first job was my paper route for The Salinas Californian. I also worked in the lettuce and celery fields .
Keith Piel, Fairfield, [email protected]
I was employed at the Pancake House with Keith Piel, plus many more, until I went into the Air Force in December of 1964.
Danny Casey Responds: I didn't know you worked at the Pancake House. So did I. And yes, I remember Keith working there. Also . . Danny Sabado.
Danny Sabado, Monroe, [email protected]
Steve Markley continues: I did work there. I think it was 1963. I was a bus boy too at 17 years old. I seem to remember that it was Keith that got me fired. I don't remember Hoefke. There was a waitress that was in her early to mid 30's that always got my blood boiling. She was so hot and so mature.
The last night I worked there was on a Saturday night. The waitress was going to quit and it would be her last night. So as normal we had to fill all the salt and pepper shakers and the sugar jars. So in a last act of revenge, we filled all the salt shaker with sugar and all the sugar jars with salt. I can only imagine what Sunday morning breakfast was like. Salt in your coffee and sugar on your eggs. Never did see her again, but I still remember my dreams of what could have been. It was fine that I was leaving, without my favorite waitress , it wouldn't have been any fun.
