"Debra Coe, she is writing a book on Clearwater Ranch" --Cathy Calcagno

"I began working at Clearwater Ranch in Philo from Fall, 1980 as a child care worker. I was involved when the residential program moved from Philo to Cloverdale in the mid-80s under the directorship of Dr. Sean Faire. Somewhere, among my paperbacks, I have a paperback book that was written about Clearwater Ranch and it's beginnings..." --Richard Johansson

VISTA DEL MAR
HAMBURGER HOME FOR YOUNG WOMEN

Founded as the JEWISH ORPHAN'S HOME OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA in 1908, it served children in that capacity for many years. With the breakdown of the family unit and other changes in society, the agency modified its programs to respond to the growing demands in the community.
