Hi Jo - thanks so much for your email. I’m working on my final draft of the story and wanted to know if you remember what year you moved to Tahoe and started working at the Ponderosa?

Thank you!

Glad we connected - I found you searching for former Ponderosa Ranch employees (I’m writing a story on the history of the Ranch for Nevada Magazine). Let me know if you’d be willing to talk to me for the article?

Where are you in Canada? We did a documentary film on the Picon Punch (Piconland.com) and filmed at the old Santa Fe (reopened as The Fe) and which sadly just closed down again. Film’s not online yet (we’re still on the festival circuit) but it’d be cool to show in Canada (and sneak some Torani in)
