Los Gatos History: Halloween at Placer Oaks Ranch

Los Gatos children loved Halloween decades ago and still love it today.

Chuck Bergtold, tall blond boy, with the Simpson children on the ranch at Placer Oaks, are dressed for Halloween in this undated historical photo.

The Simpson family lived on the Placer Oaks Ranch and were childhood friends of the Bergtolds.

John Simpson worked for Jim Countryman's Oldsmobile-Cadillac dealership in Los Gatos and was a favorite of the local car buyers.
