Mary Benton's "The Head Gate" is a haunting tale that takes us back to the Valley during the Great Depression.

Angelo Angarano's "Justice and the Tomato Lady" is about the frivolities that would take place at the old Fresno Farmer's Market.

Franz Weinschenk, his parents and his older brother Fritz were indeed lucky to get out of Germany just before World War II. For a while they lived in Brooklyn, N.Y., before moving to Madera, CA.
