Story by Fran “Brother Buzz” Young
Fran Brother Buzz Young says: The Picture is of Peter Fuchini (wearing fish Hat) and Matthew (Matt) Young aboard the Brother Buzz rockcod fishing off the Ritz (Carleton Hotel) “3 Rocks” area, fishing was so so but the whale show was off the Hook!
Here’s the mascot fishing boat at the corner of Highway 1 & Capistrano Rd, Princeton.
What do you think? Male? Female? What’s a good name?
Next week San Mateo County Supervisor Rich Gordon and Dr. Dennis J. McShane will say their vows at the Oceano Hotel & Spa in romantic–but still funky–Princeton-by-the-Sea.
Mr. Rich Gordon is the Coastside’s popular supervisor and Dr. McShane is highly regarded for his contributions to Aids research.

Corrections; I will have to find records of proof; but, I believe my in-law-parents, Guglielemo and Ida Marie ( Romani ) Piegaia were living in the house, on the Paolo Nerli property you mentioned at the north end of El Granada, across Hiway I, east of the airport from about 1923 - 1942-3. My husbands’ father first came to the Coastside from Italy in 1904; and worked as a farm laborer, with/for his sister, Isola ( Piegaia ’s ) husband, Paolo Nerli for many years until he retired and the family moved to Moss Beach. Like many others’ he had returned to Italy to marry Ida ( pronounced Eda ) Marie Romani in Jan 1921; and, they came back to the Coastside to set up household, work the artichoke and brussel sprout ranch; and, raised a family of three children, Irene ( who also worked in the Patroni House ); Reno and George.
Also, after the Nerli family sold their restaurant/bar business named, The Patroni ( not P E troni ) House it was operated for a few years as the Harbor House, with lively Saturday night dances many local residents attended and enjoyed, before it was finally torn down.
I agree Frank Nerli the oldest son had served there as a bartender for his father; but, the other bartender mentioned was not an older Nerli son; he was a son-in-law, if it was Gino.
Thanks for making corrections, Lorraine
