Karen Lemes - "Recollections of Hidden Villa" Collection

 

This collection grew initially out of a Public Lecture sponsored by the Los Altos Hills History Committee.

The title of the talk was "Tales of Moody Road", and four long term residents were invited to speak on the panel about their memories centered on this road through our town.

The four speakers - (L-R) Joan Sherlock, Joe Kleitman, Karen Lemes, and Tom McReynolds

 :

This collection is focused on Hidden Villa as seen through the experiences and eyes of Karen Lemes - over a lifetime associated with the Duvenecks and their ranch on Moody Road.

The material is spread over three separate web pages - some notes prepared by Karen for her talk on the history of the area, a collection of about a dozen water-color paintings, and about a dozen miscellaneous documents.
