Phidgety About History
Inspiration for delving into Gilroy’s history comes from many quarters: the books of Claudia Salewske, Teddy Goodrich and Elizabeth Barratt; bits of conversation with friends, glimpses of old photographs—and reading messages on “Remembering Gilroy” (go to https://www.facebook.com/about/groups and type “Remembering Gilroy” in the search box at top right). Started by Kathleen Chavez, people chime in with a wide range of memories about Gilroy.
Celebrating a local veterinarian
Last Saturday, a large group gathered to celebrate a birthday with one of Gilroy’s finest. Dr. James Ebaugh was one of the city’s first veterinarians, practicing for many years. I was one of the lucky ones to work with Jim after I graduated vet school. During those first years of my career, he helped me understand that veterinary medicine is more than just caring for animals. Dr. Ebaugh combined total dedication to his work with a sense of humor that’s important for survival in this high pressure job.
He Was More Than Just the Family Dog
I hope that others in the community can understand and relate to
