(This is the first of a multi-part series) There’s an open space preserve in the South Bay called Fremont Older. Many of us locals have hiked or biked there. Jerry Morrison and I went there to see if anyone knows why it’s called that. It’s a beautiful
Coincidence: I had no connection with the Historical Society. I actually wrote a bunch of historical articles about my old home town, Chicago: the Pullman Strike and Eliot Ness (who went to my high school). I liked doing it and people seemed to like them.

There sure is you need to come to our museum we are small but mighty. The exhibit before this was on olders neighbor Painless Parker the dentist. A few very rare PP artifacts that we acquired after it ended are in this exhibit. Another incredible museum is the one I used to work at - Los Altos. They recently did a multi million $ upgrade to their permanent exhibit and it’s just amazing. Los Altos was founded by a top S pacific exec named Paul Shoup. People on Nextdoor are really enjoying this series that was how I found out about it as my mom told me “they are discussing Fremont Older on here” I’m not posting much online although I’m soon revamping the museum’s social media
I’m going to be there today I am normally there Wednesday but I worked from home as I a had a doctor appointment. Our big annual fundraiser is tomorrow and that’s the “official” reopening. I am there 12-5 I now have the museum software on my Mac so I now work from home Thursday and other days but I am ALWAYS there on Friday 12-5 with my coworker Anya. Hopefully you will be in the area again

No big deal. I was in the area anyway.
