It was one of my dad’s favorite places for steaks. You would take your steak to the barbecue pit and watch them cook it. I don’t know if you still can do that but it was fun. Good times.

Thanks Mark. The property and the views from it are amazing. Lucky that you got to live there.

Their son Doug, and his daughter Tandem, were tandem surfing world champions more than once. A fine family, fascinating place to live and left me with many fond memories…….

Hi George, in all the research I did to write this using books, newspaper articles, museum websites and wikipedia for references, I never saw that. However, after your question I searched online specifically for “the cats los gatos albino colony” and found a blog post and a Reddit post that certainly confirms the rumor. The Reddit post even delves into the origins a bit. Check out these links:
