Ruth & Clifford Colberg Photo + Historical Marker #423

Groveland Branch Library, CA.


Finally learned how to upload individual photos to Picasa, Google's photo program and one of the easiest way to post photos to a blog on Google's Blogspot. (When Picasa scans your computer for photos it may miss some folders [or directories for the few remaining DOS-jocks out there].)

This photo was scanned to photo paper by Doug Colberg when I visited him at his Weaverville home. Then John Mottoros scanned it to a digital image while I was staying with him and Nadine at their Sutter Creek estate.

Not sure exactly when this photo of Clifford and Ruth Anderson Colberg was taken, but perhaps their son Doug can provide an approximate date. [Clifford passed on in 1986.]


Chinese Camp Hisorical Marker. Among other things, State Historical Marker #423 indicates that Chinese Camp was established c1849. The most notable inclusion is that the first Chinese Tong War in the state was fought near Chinese Camp.
