What a lovely documentary featuring my cousin Marilyn that not only honors her family history in the Santa Clara Valley, but also honors the many hardworking Italian immigrants and others who settled there and grew an industry recognized around the world. The beekeeper and his information was a delightful and important highlight for me! I love bees. I think protecting and nurturing them is such an important occupation. It was nice to see Charlie in this documentary! My girlfriend and I cut apricots for Charlie in the early 1960's as he was very close by in Sunnyvale, and yes, he was frugal! We would see him picking up stray apricots from the ground and tossing them back onto the cutting tray. A nice gentleman with integrity and a solid work ethic.
Marilyn was always a very kind and respectful person to us. I used to work on that property with my stepfather, pruning her palm trees and removing some pine trees she had next to her driveway.
Absolutely wonderful story brought back such wonderful memories of childhood and smiles that I still can’t get off my face. Very well done and thank you Steve
