The Other Side - from shack to Silicon Valley

I received a call this year from a lady who explained that she would like to come to the antique fair this year to promote her new book.

My first thought, who is this lady, but as I found out about her, I was totally blown away.

Her story discusses her own journey “from a shack to Silicone Valley”.

Her family settled in Fremont, behind Big Daddy’s.

Also she graduated from Washington High School.

I challenge you to take a few minutes and check out her YouTube videos. If your like me, you will enjoy and take some positive energy from it

I have 10 books and it’s only 101 pages so come check one out, read and bring back for the next person.

PS she did come to the antique faire and it was really nice to meet her and her Mother.

Niles, Fremont

Beautiful Niles Canyon in Fremont is a chosen spot. Jose de Jesus Vallejo chose it for the first mill town in Alta California, Joaquin Murieta slept here, and Leland Stanford chose it in 1869 for the last leg of the transcontinental railroad, the true "last spike" of the line linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. The home of the largest nursery in the West, Niles could also boast the first gravel mines in California and fine Art Deco tile production. In 1912 world famous Essanay Studios chose the oak-studded hills of Niles Canyon as the location for some of the most famous silent films of all time, including Charlie Chaplin's The Tramp, and the first Wild West movie stars strutted the dusty streets of Niles.
