IVANO SAYS: THE 'OLD RANCERE' HAS BEEN INVITED TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AT THE PORTER MEMORIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY IN SOQUEL ON
WEDNSDAY, JAN. 14, 2009,
AT 10:30AM. I WILL BE PUBLISHING MORE DETAILS AS WE NEAR THE DATE OF THE EVENT.
IN THE MEANTIME I AM POSTING AN E-MAIL I RECEIVED FROM PROF. DERRILL KERRICK. IN IT HE REMINDS ME THAT SOQUEL HAD A NUMBER OF ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS AROUND THE TURN OF THE LAST CENTURY. HIS GRANDMOTHER MARIA (MARY) BERGAZZI KERRICK WAS ONE OF THEM. THE HISTORY OF THE ITALIANS IN GLEN HAVEN (NOW SOQUEL) IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK: "OH, THAT REMINDS ME" BY PHYLLIS BERTORELLI PATTEN AND EDITED BY ELIZABETH SPEDDING CALCIANO.
Ivano: As I promised (long ago) I finally got around to photocopying (for you) the book "Oh That Reminds Me" by Phyllis Bertorelli Patten. It was published in 1969. It is all about the early (ca. 1900) Italian immigrants in the Glen Haven area near Soquel. Although it is not eloquently written it is a nice addition to the overall history of Italian immigrants in the Santa Cruz area. This is where my grandma Mary's parents settled (ca. > 1885)...Mary was born in 1890...she had four brothers. There are photos of young Mary in the book and stories and pictures of her parents and brothers. The photocopy is not the greatest (it is a copy of a copy) but it is readable. After you read it, I think it would be a nice addition to the blagga. I know of one of Phyllis' relatives (somewhat younger than me) who might contribute to the blagga.
Attached are a couple of pictures I scanned from the book "Oh That Reminds Me". In the lumberjack photo my great-great grandfather is #5. In the other my grandma Mary is labeled "Mary".Sempre Avanti,
derrill

Thanks Derrill. I have read the photo copy of "Oh, That Reminds Me..." . It has a lot of unknown (or perhaps forgotten) history (both Italian and non-Italian) of the Soquel area. Of course, I was especially interested in the Italian history. If we can get permission, I would like to publish some excerpts from the book on the 'blagga'.
