We’re proud to share the 12th film in our Stories from the Past series. This year’s film weaves together personal accounts shared by Mark Bernal, Nancy Vasquez Bernal, William (Willie) Silva, Ken Saso, Al Alciati, and Sharon Palma Alciati.

 

These men and women and their ancestors have contributed to South Santa Clara County life in diverse and important ways—from agriculture, education, government and veterans affairs to ministry services and public safety. Their years in Morgan Hill and San Martin are linked by fond memories of school days as Live Oak High School students. Their stories remind us of the power of shared history to forge friendships and a connection to the place we call home.
