Julie Guenther grew up in West Los Angeles, graduated from UCLA and moved to New York City, where she got her first job at a magazine and met David Maxey. The Maxeys moved to and from New York City, first to Washington, D. C. and back, and then to Del Mar and back. When David Maxey died, Julie and her children stayed in New York City, where she wrote for newspapers and magazines - among them Ladies' Home Journal, New York, The New York Times Magazine and Self, and then sold Manhattan real estate. She returned to Edelweiss with her husband Brad Allison in 2004. Her children, Brian and Elizabeth, both live in Seattle.
"Julie Maxey-Allison has provided a wonderful addition to the
written history of Del Mar. Her easy style allows the telling of an
intriguing story to be very readable. Even more important, thank
you, Julie, for restoring Edelweiss for us instead of subjecting it
to the omni-present California bulldozer and demolition."
-- Larry D. Brooks, President, Del Mar Historical Society "Anyone
who has had the pleasure of visiting the perfectly restored
Edelweiss house must wonder about its history. Julie does a great
job of telling the story, not only of the house itself, but also
how it is inextricably linked to the unique history of Del Mar.
It's a great read!"
-- Bob Gans, President, Del Mar Foundation
