Preface In compiling happenings from the Pacific Grove REVIEW, the object has been to illuminate the lives of the inhabitants of the old Methodist Retreat which a mere twenty years after its founding was fast becoming a secular resort. Isolated from the main roads of California, it was still on the steamer lanes and was the terminal of the Southern Pacific railroad. Nobody could say it was a world unto itself, though it retained individual- ity, due in part to the fact the nearby resort of Santa Cruz had greater appeal to the hoi poloi, being closer to San nanci sco and San Jose. It was necessary to go to more trouble to reach the Monterey Peninsula, so development lagged, and open spaces were preserved. My thanks go in particular to the editors of the Pacific Grove MONARCH, the Pacific Grove and Pebble B each TRIB UNE and the Pacific Grove Heri tage Soci ety' s BOARD AND BATTEN. Without these editors PINE PATH would never have begun nor have been continued. My thanks also to the volunteers at the O'Donnell Library in Monterey, who have saved the souvenir pamphlets I have found useful, and the collection of Californiana at the Monterey Public Library. Thanks also to Pat Hathaway, who for several years took the trouble to unearth historical photographs for the column. However, only the existence of a microfilmed copy of the Pacific Grove REVIEW is basis for this material. Due to the fact the file was microfilmed at the University of California Bancroft Library it is more readable than microfilm provided the historian by the State Library. I thank the librarie s round about for the use of microfilm readers. Those using microfilm are at the far-from tender mercies of tortuous equipment. It is my opinion the manufacturers stay awake nights devi sing new positions for small knobs' to dumbfound users. This has as a goal regular replacement of expensive equipment, bringing more money to businesses which themselves have no use for the machines. Those l,ho manufacture them take no interest in their usability and are evidently paid according to the number of new contraptions sold, as one after another is trundled to the junkyard. Just don't put an elbow down, or a whole ream of photocopy will chase the unsuspecting out the door.
