Believe it or not, one of my straw bosses at the resort that I work at in the summer, and who watches RAV TV broadcasts religiously, knows Ben Berquam personally, because they are both from the same foothills area NE of Fresno, CA. Fresno, Clovis, Prather, and Auberry persona, courses through Ben Berquam’s veins. Small world.
Thank you for pinging me ten times more than I respond to you. You’re the best neighbor I have in AZ. Currently taking refuge in a motel in Superior, AZ.
I stayed at the Magma Hotel, in downtown Superior, and the Copper Mountain Motel, just off HWY 60, so that I could watch the state girl’s 3A high school basketball tournament quarterfinals and championship game.
Years ago, I chose to ride my pedal bicycle from my home in Peoria, AZ, to the trailhead of the Pacific Crest Trail on the US-MX border near Campo, CA., located about 45 miles east of San Diego.
As the timing turned out, it was during March Madness (time) and my hometown’s boys varsity high school basketball team of Lincoln, IL, was playing in the state tournament. I got lucky and found a local library that had computers and I watched the game live. Something very similar has taken place in the past 30 hours, so it’s been a real gas to enjoy and share with my FRiends here at Free Republic!
No worry about not getting back when I ping you.
Just want to keep you in the loop on the happenings in AZ.
Watch Ben Bergquam so much on RAV I feel like I know him personally, neat that you know someone who really does.
He’s a great guy and does tremendous reporting on the Border Crisis.
Glad you took the time to hole up in Superior to watch the games.
Sounds like you had a great time even though they didn’t win the final.
Safe travels to you and check in when you can.
Gran knows I LOVE Ben Berquam.
Very cool that you have a friend, who knows him.
Excellent reporting and....seems like one heck of. decent person.
