Much has been said about the Class of '35's John Santana, but there's more. Eighty years after he graduated high school his legacy looms large in Cloverdale. Three daughters Linda, Antoniette and Patty are lifelong residents of Cloverdale. A son, Jerry, lives in Oregon. Baseball has been paramount within the family for nearly a century but they have branded their legacy as outstanding athletes on football fields and bowling alleys as far East as St. Louis, Missouri where Mrs. Santana (John's wife) won the National Handicap tournament in 1969. As impressive as all this is the asset more admirable than all the ribbons and trophies...they all have earned a citizenship award for being good people.
