Family roots run deep into the local history

Bill Balch remembers when Los Gatos was mostly orchards. The 91-year-old Los Gatos native remembers taking train rides through the Santa Cruz Mountains, before there were houses on them, and admiring the view. Balch and other residents have family roots in Los Gatos and Saratoga that go all the way back to the turn of the 20th century and beyond. The recollections of these longtime residents breathe life into the local history and can provide a sense of perspective for newcomers to the area.   More
