I was a young kid back in the 1960s, growing up in Cupertino when it was surrounded by acres of fruit orchards and cutting ’cots (apricots) for a summer job was a rite of passage. I remember my older brothers racing home on their bikes - out of breath - after being shot at with salt pellets from a BB-gun-wielding farmer for stealing a handful of cherries. Our fertile Santa Clara Valley, filled with a profusion of spring blossoms, was dubbed the “Valley of Heart’s Delight.”
