ROBERTS - Key Persons

George Roberts, the son of W.F.Roberts Jr. and the current owner of Roberts of Woodside, grew up in the Richmond district of San Francisco. He moved, along with his brother, Bill, and sister, Lorraine, to California St. in 1945 where they lived above the market. George began to work in the market, at a young age, grinding hamburger meat, cleaning chickens, and packaging meat orders for delivery. But as soon as he was old enough to drive, he made deliveries. Through college he continued to work weekends and summers. After graduating from Stanford in 1956, George volunteered for the draft. When he returned from Germany in 1958, he resumed work at the market in the grocery department.
