Description
Black and white photograph of three generations of Ramon Romero's family fathered at Fairbanks Ranch in 1944 for Thanksgiving. The photograph includes his granddaughter Ramona and her Swedish husband, Harris "Harry" Dalhberg (standing on the far left). "The ranch, comanaged by Dalhberg and Ramona's father, Jacinto "Joe" Romero (Second row, third from right, holding orange), extended along Highway 99 from California Street in Redlands to Mountain View Avenue in Loma Linda. Eunice Romero (Gonzales) (second row, center, in dark shirt) reminisced about ranch life: 'They had groves of oranges, groves of grapefruit. And they had lemon trees. The Castillos lived on one ranch, the Browmans lived on one ranch, the Martinezes lived on another ranch. So then the Romeros lived on another ranch, the Dahlbergs, the Coyazos lived on Fairbanks Ranch. Those were people that socialized and worked together.'" (Vasquez and Carpio, 45)
