| Posted By: Posted On: Oct 29, 2010 Views: 603 | Marin in the 60's,70's & 80's, especially Fairfax Fairfax in the 70's was down right magical...as a young woman going to HS and college, working at night to get through school, I never had to worry about walking home at night...people were actively pursuing alternative higher consciousness, in a pro-active community oriented way...folks looked out for each other and all-you-need-is-love was not just a slogan...yes, we were actively pursuing idealism and things weren't perfect, of course, but you could still hitch a ride with someone and not assume you were going to be attacked for doing so...And interracial acceptance was actively practiced...Thank you to everyone who still keeps the Marin dream alive..I look forward to the day when moving back to Marin is a reality. |

| Posted By: Posted On: Dec 11, 2009 Views: 1110 | The Black Oak Saloon Does anyone out there remember the old "Black Oak Saloon" in Larkspur? It was a popular watering hole in the mid 70s to mid 1980s on Magnolia, and I remember going in there a lot with friends from high school during my college years. If you went to Redwood High in the late 1960s or early 70s, you were more than likely to run into quite a few familiar faces from the old Redwood crowd. I remember there were a few girls that I had crushes on in high school who showed up there years later, and it was fun to be able to finally go up to these now grown young women and actually have more than just the awkward kind of conversations that teenagers sometimes have during those somtimes difficult years of adolesence. A raven haired beauty named Lynn Volk was one of the girls I saw there years later, and I was glad to be able to tell Lynn that I always felt she was one of the nicest and most beautiful girls I remembered from the Redwood days. Another time I remember running into Robin Williams there, well before he became the wildly successful comedian. As a matter of fact, Robin and his buddy Eric (I can't remember the fellow's last name) used to hang out at Stinson Beach in the summer of 1974 with a bunch of friends of mine. We'd always run into Robin on the beach after hiking over from Mill Valley on the Dipsea. Years later in 1982, I took my then girlfriend Linda Trieber to a nightclub to see Robin perform, and afterward we went backstage to say hello. I wassurprised when Robin immediately recognized me and yelled out: "HEY, IT'S THE GUY WHO USED TO RUN AND HIKE OUT TO THE BEACH FROM MILL VALLEY! HOW'S IT GOIN?!" Robin was one of several very succesful memebers of the Redwood High class of 1969, a class that also featured future College Football coaching great Pete Carroll, and reknown mathemetician Gunnar Carlsson, who was recently the head of the math department at Stanford. Good memories and a great class! |

I remember you, Gunnar and Anders. We live in Petaluma now, but always get nostalgic whenever popping into Tiburon. Gary now teaches at Del Mar, the middle school that we attended after Reed Elementary. |
| Posted By: Posted On: Apr 17, 2009 Views: 1827 | Good Old 50's I remember roller skating at the Marin Skateland on 4th Street.
