My favorite month, October, is finally here. The activities that make up fall, such as the Madera Fair, Old Timers Day and the final car show of the year have come and gone. At these activities, I enjoyed seeing many of my longtime friends and acquaintances.
On September 11, we remembered the horrors of the terrorist attacks from 2001.
One of my girlfriends, Alexis Howe, mentioned to me that her late father, Calvin C. Gatz, DVM, would have celebrated his 98th birthday. We had this conversation at the fair.
