We started in Fresno, seeing Chandler Field, a regional airport, Chukchansi Park, a SF Giants farm team Ballpark, and the recently closed UMC Medical Center. Saturday added Dave Wollin who took us into the high country outside Yosemite. We had left temperatures in the 90's in Fresno, to find snow on the ground up there. After an overnight at a rustic 100 year old inn outside of Oakhurst, we returned to Fresno to see several historic Theatres (the Tower and Warnor’s), and the County seat complex.

Ray Arthur and his office, as well as Dave Wollin, choreographed the whole weekend. We were met with gracious hospitality all around, from accommodations, to food and fabulous people. The "Fam Tour" was all around a good time for all who participated, and we saw some great locations.
John Grant, LMGA
