Richard Fagundes - January 2009

I was born on December 10, 1941, raised and still living on the original family farm in Hanford, Calif.  I attended Kings River and Hanford High School.  In 1962, I married my wife Shirley and we have 7 children.

I was active in Lemoore Trinity Association for 18 years, St. Anthony of Pismo Committee, Tulare T.D.E.S. Festa Committee, Pacific Tractor Pullers Association and Hanford Fraternal Hall Festa Committee.

I enjoy Barbecuing and Welding as hobbies.

I have over 20 years experience of the family dairy and have managed and supervised large scale diversified farming operations ranging from 300 to over 2000 acres of Alfalfa, Cotton and Pistachios.
