Chapter 66: Summer 1950 • Sonora ~ The family met Jay Bruce and his wife in the summer of 1950 when their car broke down and was being repaired across the way at Kelley’s. Betty was amazed; they were the oldest people Betty had ever seen driving (they were almost seventy). Mom was concerned about this elderly couple stranded in the alley so she invited them in out of the searing heat. Other than family, we seldom had adults in our house anymore except Mom’s family, an occasional priest, or the doctor.

The unwarned patrons of the theater were confused as there was no clear reason for the closing, and the company owners and theater representatives were unavailable for commenting, according to both the Press Democrat and KSRO articles on the topic. With that, many people have asked, “Why did the beloved theater close?”

I hadn’t heard any of it—not about Marconi’s essential role in the development of radio transmissions in the 1910s, not about the drug rehab facility that moved in in the ‘60s, not about the cult that evolved out of the rehab’s dubious psychological treatments in the ‘70s.

The name of Mark and Terri Starks’ new restaurant — Augie’s — tells you a lot about the Santa Rosa French bistro. It’s a cheeky reference to Auguste Escoffier, the French chef and restaurateur considered the father of modern French cuisine. You can thank him for standardizing recipes once served to kings and aristocrats, for creating a military-like structure for kitchen staff and for cleaning up (literally) unsanitary food preparation.
