Los Gatos History: Christmas Card From William E. Riker
Have a history photo to share with Los Gatos Patch? Send it to sheila.sanchez@patch.com and we would love to publish it in this Saturday column on the site. Thank you.
A 1939 Christmas card from "Father" Riker of Holy City, "Your future governor of California," tells men that to feel like real "He men" they must act as "loving fathers" over women, instead of expecting them to be "dictating mamas" over them.
