Born in San Anselmo in 1898, Marius tells the story of the Guiseppe Cordone family and the “Cordone Gardens” – the 30 acre vegetable and fruit ranch where Drake High School stands today. Marius discusses his youth, education, and 45 year career in the real estate business and the changes that have taken place in Marin over the course of his life. He shares his recollection of Sleepy Hollow, and the Hotaling Dairy (the first certified grade “A” dairy in California). He also mentions the Traxler Ranch and Hawthorne Terrace. Marius was an active, alert and accomplished businessman with a reputation of integrity and fair play.
