Title
Growing Up in Rancho Santa Fe, 50th anniversary school composition, June 8, 1977Description
Handwritten school composition titled Growing Up in Rancho Santa Fe, prepared in connection with Rancho Santa Fe’s 50th anniversary in 1977. Ann McGrath describes her family’s move from University City to Rancho Santa Fe in 1975, contrasting closely spaced suburban housing with the Spanish-style homes, privacy, and open space she found in the Ranch. The essay references Juan María Osuna and the 1845 land grant associated with Pío Pico, then reflects on community harmony, horseback riding, quail and coyotes, and recreational opportunities including tennis, cotillion, the youth center, and school activities. McGrath concludes by describing Rancho Santa Fe as a desirable place to live and raise children. 2017.011.056Creator
