I am moving the whole site from Wix to a cheaper provider - which means the Guestbook won't work in the future anymore :( But I am saving the entries right now, so that at least the ones that exist will remain :)

Robyn I knew from her days at Mills College...and, through her, met her Grandmother Margo Rosenblatt. Margo is tied to the Gumps network...the best unique retail can get...and her Gumps background added to what made her special. At age 85, Memory Lane for me turns into a highway...so glad to make a stop here. Robyn was tall, attractive, and unique...artistic...and high-spirited...wish I could have known her in this Olala chapter....! Bill Failing (UC Berkeley, 1964), now living in Portland, Oregon.

I really appreciate your thorough discussion of different considerations for sharing your footage, whether developing it into a film or producing something more creative, and finally deciding upon this website as the most effective form of presentation. Thank you for producing this.

I'm so happy to see the farm and Arlo and Robyn after all these years...I was a neighbor and 3 of my children were born on the Ridge..from 73 - 83...hello from Greg! Settled on the Oregon coastal range decades ago. I love that chapter of my life! I met Arlo when I was 20 and now I'm 71. Warms my heart...I have a couple acres in the hills here and life is peaceful! Aloha!

As has been said, this project is a family treasure! Since I moved from NSJ to the far away land of LWW, I miss bumping into y'all. Great fun to read/hear about Olala history. Appreciated the references to UCD, where Peggy and I met, and to Mills College, from which my mom graduated before WWII. Lots of talent here in your family. Great stories. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

I remember spending many days one summer on Olala Farms back in 1980 or so. Those were fun times. 👍❤️
