A PROUD HERITAGE - from page 3
married to Juan Castro, founder of Castroville. Maria de
Los Angeles, died at the age of 96, the last of her
generation of the Boronda family.
Among her 10 children was Francisca who married
Willis Abby and moved to Pacific Grove when her
daughter Anita was a little over a year old.
Growing up in Pacific Grove, where there were wooden
sidewalks, was an interesting time for Anita because in
addition to the usual childhood playmates and games she
had her mother and grandmother. They told many stories
of early Monterey and Carmel Valley days, which have
recently been recalled by Anita when asked to give
informal talks to various groups.
Many of these tales were incorporated into "Cathedral
in the Sun" and other historical novels by Anne Fisher
when Anita was the author's "Girl Friday." She was not
only the author's typist but, being bi-lingual, she was able
to help with interpreting when necessary.
"Mother and 1," Anita recalled, "helped on several
autographing parties. We wore Spanish costumes, made
yerba buena tea and served fruit empanadas which
mother made. She was a wonderful cook and was called
on so many times to make enchiladas that she called her
kitchen 'Fannie's Kitchen.' In fact, I had many of her
recipes published in a little booklet which I called
'Recipes From an Adobe Kitchen.' Mother also cooked
the entire dinner when St. Angela's was dedicated."
Anita was in the first First Communion class at St.
Angela's Church on Central Avenue in 1928. The church
was noted for its liturgical art designed by Charlton
Fortune. Before it was built, Catholics attended services
either in Monterey or in Carmel. The first catechism
classes were held at the home of "Mother Finchamp" on
17th Street and Mass was celebrated at the Old Theoso-
phical hall. The Central Avenue building has not been
used since the new church on Lighthouse was built.
Among Anita's most vivid childhood memories is the
"Displacement." The family had been living on 13th Street
in the 1930's when the entire area was condemned for
