The history of the Rhodes family in pictures and stories.

Rhodes Avenue

Yes, there is a Rhodes Avenue. The story that I heard, was that some potential suitor in the county planning office was trying to impress Livonia, and named the smallest street in the world after her. Apparently, it didn’t help his chances.

Fruitvale Schools

Here are some school photos from over a hundred years ago.
Mildred is holding a California flag in the first, and I believe that is Vonie in the lower left of the second one.

Watsonville High Yearbooks

I have at least 7 Watsonville High School Manzanita yearbooks. I have calculated when each Rhodes graduated from high school and I’ll be adding photos from each book.
Bonus! I have the Manzanita Centennial yearbook 1892 to 1992.
