Betty Jo, Susie, & Molly
Yuba River, CA
1980s--
My mom and I went up to see my Aunt Molly's hunting lodge on the Yuba River. We couldn't believe that she had finally left Berkeley for the Gold Country. My aunt Molly has had so many outrageous enterprises. She opened the first gay bar in Albany in the 1960s. She took my cousin Ty, for his birthday, to see the premiere of Space Odyssey 2001, and then to hear Janis Joplin sing at the Fillmore. She once sent me a tape of Huey Newton giving a hellfire speech at U.C. Berkeley.
