Other Information
My grandmother made so many trips
from San Diego to Walnut Grove in the 1950's and 1960's to restore
the place she so dearly loved after she saw the horrible
deterioration and the people she remembered that no longer had any
markers. The book she wrote and gave me so that we would never
forget who they were and where they all came from and so much of
their lives as well. I am her granddaughter and 50 yrs. old and
live in San Diego.
