"Tom and Pinky Schmitt met at Zorro (nudist camp, which became Naked City which today is called Sun Aura) when they were teenagers. They were boyfriend and girlfriend every summer. My dad was from Chicago and my mom was from Arkansas. They were married in 1965, the same year that my grandfather, my two uncles, and my dad started Ponderosa. It was called Ponderosa because Ben Cartwright, like my Grandpa Schmitt, had three sons in the TV show 'Bonanza.' My mom still lives here. Dad passed away."
