Episode 9: Sheilah Rogers and Jamie Roberts

January 10, 2019 -- In this episode, we'll hear from Sheilah Rogers, who moved to Redwood Valley in the 70's after a stint as a Peace Corps volunteer. She took a job at West Company and worked hard for years, helping local women figure out how to make a living.

We'll hear next from Jamie Roberts, who wrote a letter to a stranger, asking if he could rent and develop a piece of property in Elk. By building his own cabin, he picked up the skills he needed to embark on his life career as a carpenter.

As a special treat, we've thrown in a few verses of a song by Cat Mother, the iconic house band of the Mendocino coast back in the day.
