In 1978 I was given custody of my two young sons at that time I think they were 7 and 10 years old. We were leaving in rental house fairly close to my wildlife preserve, Stonewood Meadows. I had envisioned my preserve as a self supporting wildlife preserve for the various agencies to relocate in to the Santa Monica mountains, indigenous species that ended up in animal shelters, highways and attics. To support the project, I had several fruit and nut trees plus the boys and I planted 10 acres of wine grapes. We had no money to do this, but knew a wonderful gentleman who sold as grape cuttings for a nickel a piece. Since the buds on the cutting came out straight on the cutting, the boys and I had no idea which way was up or down.
