Ally, Great photo! I have lived in Pleasanton for the last 16 years have studied much of the local history. Between the time Pheobe Hearst died and the country club started, the hacienda was
operated as a dude ranch.That was during the 1940s and 50s. I'll bet a number of this crew stayed on employed on the property. I'm aquainted with a local family who operated the ranch, then sold the property for the club. I'll ask what they know about the dude ranch employees. I work next door to the museum and have researched in their archives. On my next appointment I'll look around for this information. I've worked with Pat Nostrome before on the Vieira Anselmo family here.
