The Old Town Sandalmakers
No, they're not hippies ... they were the employees of a business in downtown Los Gatos that made sandals more than 40 years ago.

When I was just a little girl, I used to babysit for Mary Jane and Peter who were the owners of the Sandal Makers shop. They started by making leather goods in their garage in Santa Clara. I still remember opening the door to their garage and smelling the leather. They made me a purse with my name on it as a gift one year and I treasured it for years. I still have a pair of sandals that they made.
