Point Richmond.....once an island on San Francisco Bay, is now a neighborhood of Richmond, California .  Point Richmond is that city's birthplace and today is it's "old town".  The Point Richmond History Association was founded in 1979 by Donna Roselius and is dedicated to promoting awareness of the community's exciting and colorful history. To this purpose, we maintain a small museum on the downtown Point Richmond Triangle that is housed by the oldest commercial building in Richmond.  The little museum was saved from destruction and moved to its current location in 1990 under the PRHA leadership of Jerry Cerkanowicz.  It is open on Thursdays 11:30 am to 2:00 pm and Saturdays 11:30 am to 2:00 pm. We invite you to join our organization, with your membership you will receive a subscription (five issues) to "This Point...in time", our entertaining and informative newsletter.  Membership categories include Senior (65 or older) ($15.00/year), Single ($20.00/year), Family ($25.00/year), History Preserver ($50.00/year) or History Maker ($100.00/year). Checks should be made to the Point Richmond History Association and mailed to Pam Wilson, 521 Western Drive, Point Richmond, CA 94801.

Many of you know Patricia (Pat) Davis Pearson.  Until she moved away a few years ago Pat was an active, enthusiastic member of the PRHA serving as Vice-President as well as a docent for many years. There was a time when Pat and Mid Dornan, the PRHA President, were a sort of PRHA “dynamic duo”.  We loved it when Pat brightened our newsletter assembly meetings with homemade cookies!

She and her family lived in the historic Frosini House at 411 Contra Costa which is in an area of The Point then known as Goat Hollow.  If you walk by you will see a plaque on the side of the house explaining a little of its history.  Built in 1903, it was one of the not particularly uncommon houses in Point Richmond where the residents made their own wine.

Several years ago, Pat moved to the Sacramento area to be nearer family members. Recently her son, Jim Davis, stopped by the Museum to let us know that Pat is now living at Westmont of Pinole.  She is not receiving visitors but would love to have notes and cards from her friends and fans. Pat Pearson, Westmont of Pinole, 2850 Estates Ave, Pinole, CA 94564.

Best wishes for a season of friendship, joy and good health.  We’ll be back in 2023.
