Paul's Hat Works
Paul’s Hat Works was opened and ran by Napoleon Marquez from from 1918 to 1955. He came to the US from Peru, having grown up around the Ecuadorian tradition of weaving panama straw hats. He passed the legacy to his godson Kelley Bowling, who ran it with his wife Stephanie for many more years. The third generation to own Paul’s Hat Works was Michael Harris and his wife Judy. Michael became the owner in 1980, but 28 years later he was ready to retire and paint the coastsof California. Michael looked for a successor, sure that only a knight in shining armor could continue the 91 year old legacy.

Barrango
In the year 1910, the city of San Francisco was still in the process of rebuilding after the devastating earthquake and fire of 1906. At this time, a newly arrived Italian immigrant family began a small business using their skills in sculpting, woodcarving and mold making. Salvatore Barrango, the patriarch, became known for his work in restoring the statues of the saints in churches all over the Bay Area. As the city recovered and commerce thrived, the family went on to produce store mannequins of exceptional style and beauty.

Everett and JoneS
Everett & Jones Barbeque was started by Dorothy Everett with her eight daughters, one son and one son-in-law (Jones) in Oakland, California in 1973. Dorothy and her husband Cleveland were born and came of age in rural Alabama, in a small town named Westpoint. With three children and another on the way, the family decided to seek new opportunity in California. In 1952, Cleveland Everett departed Alabama first to find work and a place for the family to live and Dorothy followed later with the children. Eight years later Dorothy and Cleveland separated leaving Dorothy to care for the children.
Lagunitas Brewery
From our earliest days of striving to make consistently good beer, and instead making beer that ranged from vile, to barely drinkable, to wonderful, to elegant, to questionable-at-best. From being castigated by our West Marin neighbors to finally suffering an ‘eviction’ by our West Marin septic system. From landing in the welcoming arms of Petaluma, and actually getting our beer into bottles, onto the streets, and into the hands of sympathatic beer geeks, to steadily losing less money each month. From all this and more, Lagunitas Brewing Company is emerging as a battle-tested brewery capable of making great beer out of goat’s milk, brambles, and asphalt on the surface of the Moon, if need be.
