SILVER HARVEST is a movie made a few decades ago about the fishing industry which my family was very much involved with in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
This is a great movie, because it speaks to the heritage and history of our community in the Monterey peninsula. In fact, it shows some footage of the Santa Rosa festival, which includes youngsters dancing, and the parade as well as the big celebration at the Custom house, Plaza, that I attended as a child along with my family.
My father Anthony Davi Sr. uncle James Davi is featured in this movie as he was a captain of several boats and had a fishing fleet. My grandfather, his youngest brother, Guido Davi I, used to fish with his brothers and in the 1950s when the sardines started to go away.
My grandfather decided to quit the fishing industry and get into real estate and insurance. That decision by my Grandfather is what led my family to the real estate business and we are still involved that business three generations later – as my oldest daughter Rachelle is a Realtor in town today.
Enjoy this interesting watch, and a look into the history of a great industry in our wonderful community!!
