One of San Mateo County's newcomers who
has risen to a place of esteem in the community is D.A. Raybould of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Mr. Raybould is
known in all parts of the county as one of its wideawake, energetic young men
who has at heart the welfare of the county as well as the interests of his
paper.
During the few years that Mr. Raybould
has represented the Chronicle in San Mateo county he has enjoyed a reputation
for fairness. His news articles have
kept the peninsula cities in the foreground and not a day passes that some
section of the county is not exploited in the San Francisco press.
A few years ago Mr. Raybould wrote the
Peninsula Polo Annual, a history of the sport of kings in the county. Through this book which was distributed
among all the leading clubs of the East, California polo received a great deal
of recognition.
Mr. Raybould was born in Salt Lake City,
September 12, 1888. He received his
early education in the Salt Lake schools.
He completed his education at the Universtiy of Utah. After leaving college Mr. Raybould connected
with the leading journals of Utah.
Since coming to California in 1911 Mr. Raybould has been with the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Mr. Raybould belongs to the Owl and Key
and the Skull and Bones of the University of Utah, the Beta Theta Pi
fraternity, the Ophite club of San Francisco, the Peninsula Club of San Mateo
and the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce.
