This is the last installment of Don’s history. There is a hard to read map I will post next week, but it can’t be divided in two easily, will be small, and Don’s handwriting isn’t the easiest.

What a great ending. Looked up Helen Wills Moody. She was a World class Tennis player who even defeated a # 6 American male tennis player in 1933. Thank you Kate for sharing a wonderful series.
I will miss these entries Kate. History has never been told better or presented in a more entertaining way.
Hi Kate. My puny eyesight can hardly discern Don's writings. Is there any way I could obtain on an 8 1/2 X 11 format. I would LOVE to be able to read this... I'll PAY costs! Thanks. wally barnick ps: hope you are doing well!
Wally, I can send you a digital copy of the entire series, including the map, but it is still hard to read!

I really enjoyed this series Kate. Thanks for passing Don's identification of place names and their origins, on to the rest of us.
I am glad you all enjoyed this series as much as I did. I will gladly email the entire series to those who want it. Butch, I'm sending it on to you!

Hiya Kate, longtime reader, first time poster; I was wondering if you could send me a copy of this wonderful south coast historical document? Thanks a million from the big sur valley
I'd love to have a digital copy of Don's history. thanks.
On its way. BTW, if you happen to ask when I'm in town with fast access, you get it same day. If not, well, no promises.
Hi Kate...I would like to thank you for putting my dad's history on your website. I read all your post it brings back memories of the years I was raised on the coast. Keep up the good work.
