Adriana Gianturco was married to one of my uncles and I had many opportunities to visit and talk with her. She was genuinely interested in advancing the cause of both commuter and intercity rail in Calif. While the first state subsidies for Amtrak service actually began when Reagan was governor, we shouldn't underestimate the work done by Brown and Gianturco to lay the groundwork for today's very successful rail program.

She was very unpopular with the old line bureaucracy at Caltrans, who felt their only mission was to build and maintain highways. And I remember being called on the carpet by my employer SP when they discovered she was related to me, and being told to stay away from her!
