Ron Mueller is an East Bay native and longtime East Bay Regional Park District employee. He grew up in Bollinger Canyon in the 1950s in a ranching community, and his family property was later sold to the district. In this interview, he discusses his early life, family and their history, service in the Navy after high school, returning to the Bay Area and getting hired by the district in 1973, working as a seasonal groundskeeper, becoming a ranger, transitioning to supervisor, specific projects and sites that he worked on throughout his career, sale of his family’s property, relationship with other families who also sold their land, retiring in 2010, and reflects on his career with the district. In 2008, the East Bay Regional Park District interviewed Ron in connection to the history of the Meyers Cottage and Gardens at Dry Creek/Pioneer Regional Parks. As park supervisor, Ron met and came to know two of the three daughters of Henry Meyers, Jeanette and Mildred Meyers (third daughter Edith Meyers had been deceased), who both lived at the Cottage. The three sisters were instrumental in saving their family’s estate and land in Union City from freeway development in the 1960s and donated the land to the district. Surviving sisters Jeanette and Mildred lived at the Cottage until their deaths. The interview transcript that focuses on the Meyers family legacy is available through the EBRPD Archives.
