"Historic Bay Area Visionaries" is a hit in our Silicon Valley library system, where there are now a dozen copies in circulation--and they're all checked out! I donated two more at a recent talk at the Los Altos Library.
We have lots of talks scheduled for 2019, and I hope you will find time to stop by and say hello at one or more of them. I always like to see familiar faces when I am at these events. It is a delight to see so many of you! Here are the details:
The May 9, 2019, talk I did with Dr. Gloria Hom at the Los Altos History Museum about her grandfather, early 20th century entrepreneur, Thomas Foon Chew, was a wonderful success. Though she was one of the sources for my chapter on Thomas Foon Chew and his cannery, it is the first time Gloria and I have worked together on a talk about this amazing fellow. We expect to do the talk again. So watch this space for more details! Meanwhile, coming up soon:
