My unofficial foster father, the late winemaker K. B. Hall -
Former President of the Pacific Coast Geological Society, and owner of the Pitting Shed, Drying Yard & Pacific Ry. in the Uppah Ojai Valley, Ca.*
Face to face with K.B. and his tractor; IIRC the latter is STILL in operating condition nearly fifty years later:
. . . and a wider view of K.B. and some of his motley crew –sons Mark (#3) and Luke (#4) and adopted foundling Roosso Loco (#8) seated below the center of the photo – guarding the first bulk shipment of 'Old #500 Industrial Strength Red Table Wine':
- Sincerely, Willie (Wm. Claude Johnson-Barr III, Esq.)
