Strathearn Park Docent Since 2007

 

Mert Lapeyre-Montrose

My Grandparents came to Ventura County in the late 1800's. My grandmother lived with her father on

what is now known as the Joel McCray Ranch. My grandfather and his brother lived in Tierra Rejada.

My father was born in there and eventually inherited his uncle's ranch. My father also worked in Libera,

West Africa so we went back and forth between the two countries. I went to boarding school in Weybridge

Surrey in the U.K. I married Les Montrose in 1974. We have 3 daughters and one grandchild, Jack, who is

the apple of my eye. We now live in Oak Park.
