MRS. WILFORD R. HOLMAN - from page 2 It occurred to Mrs. Holman that "records must be kept." She started a collection of scrapbooks of various events that is a historical treasure. "Col. Griffin had a wonderful paper," she said, "in the Monterey Peninsula Herald and I found it of tremendous inspiration." There are at least ten scrapbooks of Peninsula events, in- cluding one on Carmel with stories of the literary and painting luminaries with whom she became acquainted in the depart- ment store. They'd often come into my office and chat," she recalled of Harry Leon Wilson, Maynard Dixon, Mabel Luhan, Lincoln Steffens, Martin Flavin, Perry Newberry, David Starr Jordan, William Ritschel, Armin Hansen, among others. There is one complete scrapbook of the seven-year struggle to have the Pacific Grove-Carmel road a reality and now the Holmans have a framed copy of the resolution to have that part of Route 68 officially designated the WILFORD R. HOLMAN ROAD - a 1971 act of the California legislature. There are a number o f scrapbooks of the story of Charles A. Lindbergh in the extensive Holman library which contains such historic treasures as Atlas du Laperouse of 1798. Besides the usual work with education groups, such as the PTA of which she was the first president in Pacific Grove. Mrs. Holman has been associated with art and music organizations as well. Her great love, she said, is the Monterey History and Art Association with memories of having worked with Miss Margaret Jacks to save the adobes. "anyone can have markets and sell goods," she said, "but how many have adobes?" (In 1930's the urge for development resulted in the wrecking of a number of adobes until a citizens committee was formed to save those that remain today). The Holmans, several years ago, donated their vast collection of Indian artifacts and art to the State of California and the costumes, baskets, cooking and living accouterments are housed at the Pacific House in Monterey. Mrs. Holman pointed to a recent letter from Governor Ronald Reagan thanking her for the donation of an Indian basket - one made of feathers by the Porno Indians - which he had taken as a gift to the Emperor ofJapan. "There are so many and exciting changes everyday! We are living in revolutionary times. Just think of going to the moon ! We used to think of the moon only as something associated with a nursery rhyme or a romantic song. You know", she continued, "a noted woman once wrote that the time will come when men will look down from the moon not up to it ! "Now, the President's trip to China ! Why, i f children would begin keeping a record, think of what it would mean in the years to come. "There are precious things in each day's newspaper as well as stories in Game end Gossip, which," as Mrs. Holman said, "being an independent magazine, is vital in so many ways. "Of course, reading and clipping these stories," she laughed, "was a lot of work. But it was a joy." Besides being at her husband's side, not only in the department store where there were numerous duties, but in her home, rearing two daughters and taking an active part in many, many civic affairs with cheerful dedication, is the 1cue to the character of Zena Patrick Holman.

We need only to know that and realize that the sun comes up every morning, to sustain us. In appreciation we should take advantage of our good fortune in being able to live in this wonderful country, in this beautiful Peninsula, by working hard to preserve this heritage so that we can pass it on to other generations." half of her century of living, with her clear, sparkling blue eyes and a clear, translucent skin that echoes her enthusiasm and zest for living, is a testimonial to the benefits of that ethic. however. .. During low tide the shore along the Elkhorn Slough is a great place to dig for clams. In the background is The Harbor Inn - noted for hospitality and food. with an atmosphere so unusual that even Art Hoppe, -the syndicated columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, stops in on Saturday nights to catch We Three, a. band straight out of the 50's that has played here for 15 years.

Sons Joe and Jerry mix the drinks, daughter Julie takes care of the tables, and Sal Jr. helps his dad in the kitchen. The fare is Italian, served in the Italian manner. Saturday nights are by far the best time to catch the full atmosphere here. The place is jammed with music and people sipping Italian co ffee (Tuaca, a dash or rum, coffee and whipped cream). There's dancing, too. The tables, all covered with bright red table cloths, ring the dance floor. It's a cozy place, warm and familiar, and a visitor never feels like a stranger. From the tables, there's a magnificent view of boat movements in the harbor, fisherman casting from the point, and the quiet opening to Elkhorn Slough. It's a great place to get away from it all. There's a big selection on the menu, too. Genovese's is a good place to settle down and get the feel of Moss Landing, past and present. .. e , 44- 'A , OCR Text: MRS. WILFORD R.
