A magical place to grow up and an exceptionally lovely place to live, Los Gatos has transformed from its agrarian roots to an upscale community at the southern tip of Silicon Valley. With its sublime Mediterranean climate and stunning natural setting, the town has progressed while still valiantly protecting its small town character and customs. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake hit Los Gatos hard, creating a devastating litany of 481 damaged homes and businesses, many of them historic. Los Gatos made the decision to rebuild and restore what had been lost, with picture-perfect results.

Nestled in the heart of a dramatic natural amphitheater formed by the Santa Cruz Mountains, Los Gatos serves as the gateway from the Santa Clara Valley to the Pacific Ocean. This happy accident of location allowed historic Los Gatos to witness a colorful parade of swashbuckling explorers, Franciscan padres, and hearty American pioneers, many of whom came to harvest virgin redwood forests from the mountains and grow fruit in exceptionally fertile soil. Los Gatos grew up around the 1850s flour mill established by Scotsman James Alexander Forbes. In 1878 the railroad arrived and was a powerful influence for more than 80 years. Named for the mountain lions that still inhabit the area, Los Gatos has reflected the expansive richness of the California Dream for 150 years.

In 1878, Charles Erskine Scott Wood, builder of the Cats Estate, wrote "Good citizens are the riches of a city." From its beginning, Los Gatos has suffered no shortage of hardworking, inventive, entrepreneurial, and gifted people. Early orchardists found the land unbelievably productive, but their crops were threatened with disease and pesky infestations of gophers. John Bean and Zephyr Macabee provided solutions. Louise Van Meter was an unconventional teacher who championed the new concept of kindergarten. Neta Snook Southern defied traditional female roles to become a pilot. She taught Amelia Earhart to fly before retiring to Los Gatos, where she raised prunes, apricots, and miniature horses. John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath during one long, hot summer in town. Steve Wozniak settled in Los Gatos and donated computers to schools. The lives presented here have contributed to the sparkling legacy of the "Gem City of the Foothills."

The picturesque town of Los Gatos stands between the once verdant orchards of the Santa Clara Valley and the forested slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The narrow-gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad arrived in 1878 and, within two years, laid track over the mountains to carry passengers, redwood, and tons of ripe produce. Less than a decade later it was purchased by Southern Pacific, and completely converted to standard gauge by 1909. Invigorating business and industry, the railroad remained a vital part of the economy of Los Gatos for over 80 years. Although the era of commercial rail ended in 1959, Billy Jones and his scaled-down Wildcat Railroad" still offered weekend rides at his ranch to guests, including Walt Disney. The Wildcat still operates in two local parks today."

From its beginnings as a Mexican land grant, Los Gatos has been filled with promise. A beautiful natural setting attracted a fascinating population of innovators, inventors, intellectuals, and artists; those who dreamed and those who cultivated the splendid richness of the soil. A gracious integration of fruit, flowers, and a gentle, delightful climate allowed settlers to thrive and find sure success. Inevitable tragedy and troubles also beset the little settlement at the western edge of the country, especially a series of devastating fires and episodes of raw frontier violence in the 1880s. Yet through all of its history, Los Gatos has prided itself on its strong sense of community, each generation proud of its heritage and of what they accomplished. A gathering of talent graced each decade--hopeful, hardworking people who appreciated the unique combination of an ideal place and abundant opportunity existent in their corner of the "Valley of Hearts Delight."

Over Ohio in Cincinnati the dancing pig s beautiful twin fanjet Sabreliner as he returns from Italy following the final capture of Fred-X, that catnapping meanie owl, Buzzer Louis gets a call from Socks at Cats In Action (C.I.A.) in the basement of the White House. Seems the infamous international terrorist Carlos the puma has escaped from a dreadful prison near the headwaters of the Amazon River, and the Brazilian and Argentinean authorities are looking for Buzzer and Cincinnati to help capture and return him to prison. Four years previously, Buzzer and his dancing pig sidekick had trapped Carlos by staging a wine tasting and tango contest on the twenty-third floor of the downtown Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, and the big cat had been sentenced to a long prison term. But now he is once again suelto on the loose and promising to come to Buenos Aires to get even with Buzzer and Cincinnati. Capitán Paloma Pérez and her assistant, Teniente Guillermo Chuck Trovarsi, of the PFA Policía Federal de Argentina -- want Buzzer and Cincinnati to come to Buenos Aires to help capture Carlos once again . . . because nobody knows more about the big cat and his terrorist ways. After a stop at home in the Hill Country of Texas for a planning session and a brief rest, Buzzer and the entire entourage of Cincinnati, Buzz s pretty but impatient sister Dusty Louise and their tiny twin siblings, the hilarious pranksters Luigi Panettone Giaccomazza and Luisa Manicotti Giaccomazza, take off for Buenos Aires with a fuel stop in Guayaquil, Ecuador. This time they try to capture Carlos with a stupendous, even grandiose plan hatched by none other than the orange tabby twins, little Luigi and Luisa, with the help of un agente secreto from the PFA, the president of Argentina, herself, and an unusual statue of Caperucita Roja, Little Red Riding Hood. There s intrigue on the big river and a virtual sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, beautiful South American city of eighteen million inhabitants. Our heroes polish and expand their knowledge of the Spanish language. You will, too, with a vocabulary and pronunciation guide to more than 750 useful, everyday Spanish words and phrases in a story whose plot twists and turns would make Robert Ludlum jealous.
