Happy Holidays from the San Pedro Bay Historical Society and the Muller House Museum. Wishing everyone peace on earth; goodwill to all.

*Who-What-Where Wednesday* This early picture of the Muller Family holds pride of place in the Muller House Museum. If you've taken the tour, do you remember the first names of Mr. and Mrs. Muller? How about their daughter that taught at San Pedro High School? Do you remember what subject she taught? :)
