SARRATT knew the Great Plains
version of following the crops, in
his case, the Depression-era
combines, that moved with the wheat
harvest from Texas to North Dakota
every Summer.
"I asked him once why he left the Middle West" said his son, Michael, and he said, "I never left anything behind. just a lot of heat and dust and tornadoes and blizzards." From a wide spot in the road named Belvedere on the Little Blue River in southeastern Nebraska, Norman SARRATT, also followed his instincts. They led to California. And before he died July 12 at age 84 in Capitola, Mr. SARRATT had found opportunity and success as an educator in San Jose and a political activist in the Monterey Bay region. "He really was a self-made man." Said Grandson Michael SARRATT. Norman H. SARRATT started all that in a family country store that couldn't afford to pay any worker and forced to strapping 6-foot-2 lad to shock wheat to make his own money. Finally he took $20 and hitch-hiked to San Jose. His size made him perfect for a grave yard-shift job as an orderly at Agnew State Hospital, and the wee morning hours was a perfect time to study for his classes at San Jose State College. He met Laura "Billy" YOUNG, after she earned her education degree and he his business degree in 1939, she began teaching, and he went to work for Kaiser Permanente. They married on Dec. 27 1940. He moved up to branch manager before World War II enlisted his abilities as a statistician to establish success-failure guidelines for potential Army Air Forces pilots. After the war, a promising job with the makers of Anacin at Whitehall Laboratories put him at career crossroads. The pharmaceutical company wanted him to move east to take a management-track position, He said no. With "Billy" SARRATT teaching to support a growing family of son, Michael and daughter, Anne, Mr. SARRATT's Master a degree from San Jose State came in 1951 and his Doctorate form Stanford in 1956. Along the way he worked as a teacher and principal in several school districts, including the Lake Tahoe area. where he began a passion for sailing. Because of his business back-ground, Mr. SARRATT started as business manager for the Alum Rock School District and supervised the building of 20 schools as San Jose boomed. He moved up to assistant superintendent, and "Billie" SARRATT continued to teach, mostly in the San Jose Unified School District, until both retired in the 1970's. When they established their permanent. home in Capitola, there wasn't much retirement in it. Both were active Democrats; "Billie" SARRATT was a detail-oriented organizer, and Mr. SARRATT was a fundraiser. Laon Panetta counted the SARRATT's as loyal back-room workers in his Central Coast congressional races, as did Rep. Sam Farr. "They were an incredible team" Farr said Thursday. "One of the most charming couple anybody could now." "Billie" SARRATT contacted an aggressive form of apvotrophic? lateral sclerosis and died in 1991. but Mr. SARRATT kept assisting campaigns. Three times he helped formed Capitola Mayor Stephanie Harlan win election to the city council, as he did for Robert Garcia "He was important in Capitola History" Harlan said, He served on the city's last mobile-home rent review board and represented the SARRATT Depot Hill Neighborhood Association. Dr. SARRATT was active until a back injury flared up and signaled a progressive decline in his health. He died at home. "He was my role model." said his son, who taught for a time and then he chose to become a "Rail-Road Engineer." He fostered independence, always insisted on integrity and strength ... he made a big impression, had a big personality. He came a long way from a farm boy. |
