Hi again, Carol.

If you are interested in a photogragh of the old St. Mary's College in
Oakland, I have two different photos that I can think of off the top of
my head and a post card that is dated 1912. I also have a photo of my
great grandfather's graduating class from St. Mary's (all of about 12
young men).
Let me know if anyone is interested and I can e-mail copies.
