In 1878, Charles Erskine Scott Wood, builder of the Cats Estate,
wrote "Good citizens are the riches of a city." From its beginning,
Los Gatos has suffered no shortage of hardworking, inventive,
entrepreneurial, and gifted people. Early orchardists found the
land unbelievably productive, but their crops were threatened with
disease and pesky infestations of gophers. John Bean and Zephyr
Macabee provided solutions. Louise Van Meter was an unconventional
teacher who championed the new concept of kindergarten. Neta Snook
Southern defied traditional female roles to become a pilot. She
taught Amelia Earhart to fly before retiring to Los Gatos, where
she raised prunes, apricots, and miniature horses. John Steinbeck
wrote The Grapes of Wrath during one long, hot summer in town.
Steve Wozniak settled in Los Gatos and donated computers to
schools. The lives presented here have contributed to the sparkling
legacy of the "Gem City of the Foothills."
