Greenbrae Life in Marin, posted by Editor, Pacific Sun Online, on Nov 29, 2009 at 8:32 pm
In Scottish, Greenbrae means "green hillside"—-a name reflecting its pastoral history, first as a ranchero, and later a dairy farm owned by the Catholic Church. Previously a land of rolling grass-covered hills and placidly grazing cows, over the latter part of the 20th century Greenbrae grew to become a thriving independent community.

Greenbrae + Greenbrae School were the best years for many of us kids. We had a deep sense of knowing each other and growing up together. Keeping the deep roots of friendship has been fun as we rediscover each other later in life. We were at Greenbrae School from 1960-1966. I'd love to know where some of our teachers are now!

Robin is right. Greenbrae was a great place to grow up. I lived there from 1958~1972. Great hills for cardboard box sliding, a bowling alley, pee wee golf course (later a go cart track), lots of “secret paths” to go from one street to another, hills and more hills, really friendly neighbors, and a great grammar school. Today, only the hills remain.
It’s been 37 years since I lived in Greenbrae and I always enjoy the memories of growing up in Greenbrae, so I guess you can take the kid out of Greenbrae, but you can’t take Greenbrae out of the kid!
