When I Lived in Friant it was called the o'neals phone co,i believe. On of the owners of the co. gave me a cutting horse named Cricket I was about 11 years old or so. that was the best horse I ever had. across from the house was an orange grove 5 acres we farmed for some time. that farm had some land with it so that is where i kept the horse thay gave me.I have many good memories from growing up in Friant.The only crime we had was drinking at to early of an age.

I would love to talk to someone in Friant. I see it has become a nice city . My first school (1st.grade) was a little 1 room school at the foot of table mountain upon the madera side.It was still there in 1963.I started to school at 5 cause they neede 1 more kid to qualify for a second teacher.1 of the older boys killed a rattle snake in our out door toilet.at this time we lived on the flat just above Madera canal,they had set up a tent city for workers on the dam.The dam workers and their co.built the first school
in Friant on burroughs ave. Please will some one contact me about living in Friant now.We could share some memories old and new.you would not believe what Friant was then.txtuf1@aol.com Larry Collins

Daily Horoscope for December 6

Taurus

If you gave up over what happened yesterday, you stand a better chance of sorting things out today. Talking to the person who failed to go for the teamwork may help to get a grip on the situation, especially if you manage to avoid recriminations or accusations. Instead, do your best to be as understanding and compassionate as possible. Or just let it go.
