"[1] Musson owned, as pets, a white turkey, monkeys, parrots, deer, chickens, goats, dogs, cats and other creatures that were allowed to wander around her restaurants.

[1] In 1955 she managed The Ferry Slip Galley, in a building at Gate 5 of the Sausalito pier, for owners Shirley Morgan and Cliff Pedersen.

[14] When Musson's lease expired, the 24-hour restaurant and nightclub relocated in May 1962 aboard the Charles Van Damme, a decommissioned paddlewheel ferryboat docked at Waldo Point.

[3] Before the end of the year, Musson ran into financial trouble when the Internal Revenue Service filed a $4,497 lien against the business for failure to pay employee withholding taxes.

[16] The restaurant made front-page headlines on March 16, 1963, when a late-night 40-person melee erupted between a motorcycle club and other patrons; weapons included car jacks, pipes, steel bars, furniture, and a fishbowl.

[18] Following her eviction, a $250,000 lawsuit was filed against Musson by the motorcycle club member who had been hit in the head with an axe during the March brawl.

She managed to stay in business, hoping her restaurant could be fully restored, by cooking the food at the nearby Fetters Hot Springs Hotel where she could fall back on her catering license.

In a bid to raise $35,000 to make an outright purchase of the hotel in 1975, Musson sold her collection of "funky junk and antiques".

[1] Celebrities that frequented Musson's restaurants included the Kingston Trio, Joseph Cotten, the Smothers Brothers, Shelley Berman, Robert Mitchum, and Sally Stanford.
