For almost all of their 30 years in Sonoma Valley, Carol and Sam Morphy have lived just a short walk down the block or around the bend from the Sonoma Community Center.  Long before their lives were infused with the delicious smell of Red Grape pizza dough rising in the searing hot ovens at their landmark restaurant, it was all about the kids, and that meant daily trips to the elegant, historic structure nestled at the outside edge of Sonoma Plaza and Sonoma’s east-side neighborhood.
