Letter: Kudos to history writer
I enjoyed reading Lisa Traylor Scott’s chronicle of her family in last week’s issue of the Los Gatan as well as the companion piece she wrote last year. As an amateur historian, I’m forever curious about the people whose mostly untold stories reveal how...
Letter: Sustainability, stewardship and the future of La Rinconada Country Club
Recent commentary about the renovation at La Rinconada Country Club has raised understandable questions—and, unfortunately, some misconceptions—about what is actually taking place on our grounds.
As stewards of a property with nearly a century of history and deep roots in the Los Gatos community, we...
Letter: There are more development stories to be told
The recent Los Gatan article describing a scary chapter in Los Gatos history by Alan Feinberg jumped from the horrific 1960s plan to raise the Almond Grove District to the creation of the Almond Grove Historic District in 2008.

Letter to the Editor: A plea to disrespectful dog owners
Hello, fellow Los Gatos residents and visitors,
We have a wonderful town.
But dog owners who do not pick up their dog’s droppings (poop), please do not leave it on our sidewalks.
Unhealthy, unkind, just wrong.

Letters arrived about the Ace Hardware condo proposal and the hiring of the Town Manager
No development at Ace Hardware site
My family and I have been living in Los Gatos for over 35 years now.
The housing development is out of control! (And overdevelopment in general.)
