Ojai's Pioneer Families with Tony Thacher
from Ojai: Talk of the Town · host Bret Bradigan
Despite his down-to-earth demeanor and genial wit, Tony Thacher, the farmer and erstwhile geologist, has a distinguished lineage. His grandfather helped start The Thacher School in the 1880s, and his wife, Anne Friend Thacher, is the daughter of legendary citrus rancher Elmer Friend and part of the historic family that were among the first to stake out claims in the Ojai Valley. We talk about the current state of agriculture, Berkeley's Free Speech Movement, water issues, community service, the future of Ojai and steelhead trout. Tony also tells a few tall tales (some which might true-ish), We did not talk about the Buffalo Bills' heart-breaking loss to the Chiefs in the AFC title game, Israeli irrigation technology or UFOs.
