Linda Mar is fifty. Let's celebrate!

Seven ranches in Pedro Valley were sold on one Spring weekend in 1953. Exactly which weekend I'm not sure. Perhaps your ranch family was one of those who agreed with Ray Higgins to sell their acreage to Andy Oddstad and start the ball rolling that became Linda Mar. If so, perhaps you can tell me the exact date of this now historical event. Eventually about 4000 homes would be built in Linda Mar, grossing roughly $40,000,000 for Oddstad. Today those same homes are worth more than 40 times what they sold for in the fifties.
