TURNING BACK TIME
We may be setting our clocks back an hour on November 4th, but this photo will set you back 65 years! Redwood really was built in the middle of a marsh with its only entrance on Williams Avenue.There was no quad, amphitheater, back parking lot, CEA, Moody fields, swimming pool or other athletic facilities, and certainly no technology...some of you will remember film strips and reel to reel movies in the classroom? And black boards with chalk and erasers? And a library reference room with a card catalog and filled with encyclopedia?

Redwood opened to its first students in 1958 It was supposed to be called Licatuit, after an Indian princess, but that was challenged and Redwood emerged as the official name, even though redwood trees didn't and couldn't grow in the marshy area. A lot has changed over the years. There were over 2700 students at its peak in the '70s. Many new facilities have been added and many need to be updated. The upcoming bond issue hopes to address that. Please vote YES! Redwood is still a school with many opportunities, excellent teachers and stellar students who will make a difference in the world.
BE A PART OF LOCAL HISTORY
Kentfield and Greenbrae Alumni, and history buffs everywhere… the Kentfield Greenbrae Historical Society (KGHS) recently made a major purchase to save a piece Kentfield History for the community. This 1871 painting of Ross Landing (now Kentfield) by Joseph Lee recently came up for auction in Chicago… what was it doing there?
Of course you recognize Mount Tam with College Avenue crossing the Corte Madera Creek and what would later become Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, heading toward Ross. Kentfield Corners with several buildings is in the foreground with the grounds of College of Marin in the center of the painting. If you would like to help us keep this beautiful painting in Marin where it belongs, please consider a donation to the KGHS at www.kghs.org. It will soon be displayed for those interested in seeing it in person. You can also visit our Gallery in Bon Air to see an high quality replica.
