: My Grandpa ([[Victor Shattock]]) and his buddies started building in 1948 in Redwood Regional Park. The Golden Spike was driven on September 2, 1950. The rest was history! If he were alive today, I don't think he'd believe his own eyes to see what the Club has created at Tilden Park in Berkeley.

: One of the teenagers who used to hang around his basement in Oakland when said teen was only nineteen years old, was [[Charles Garbett|Charles "Budge" Garbett]]. In 1936, Vic asked him to notify a list of folks about a meeting on the following Friday night. He sent out homemade postcards, took notes, and became the first club secretary. That was a long time ago. Yet at 95 years of age, that first secretary attended our grand 75th Anniversary Party at Tilden in 2011 as the Club's guest. Yes, it was amazing !

: Budge told ME ([[Kenneth Shattock]]) that my Grandpa had a layout "down among the warehouses in West Oakland" before building in East Oakland. Dang--I never knew that !!
