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.
