Acknowledgments
My great-aunt Anne Hadden had always wanted to write a book about her adventures in Monterey County as its first librarian. In her retirement during the 1950s, she spent many hours handwriting and typing manuscripts of her memories. When she passed away, my family gave most of these papers to the Monterey County Free Libraries.
In my retirement, I have become very interested in family history, finding fascinating stories about my ancestors. I find Aunt Anne’s memoirs exciting, valuable stories for our local history.
Many people have helped and supported me in my research and writing efforts. I want to especially thank Mary Housel and Jayanti Addleman of the Monterey County Free Libraries for their helpful support by providing me with copies of papers and photographs. My cousin Betty Jean Spitze gave me copies of papers and pictures from the “family trunk,” which were meant to be shared by all the cousins. Furthermore, I want to thank the librarians at the California State Archives in Sacramento for their generous help and wonderful records.
For additional support, I want to thank my writing group for their continual help, and my daughter Adria Warren, who took time away from a busy law practice and two young babies, to review the manuscript.
