Not that it matters, but it's interesting....I went to Fresno State in 76-77. I ended up marrying a Fresnoid, and had my first baby. My BIL purchased land and a small farmhouse in Chowchilla (Dairyland) directly across the street from the school the kids were kidnapped from (but after the fact,) We lived there for a year and became good friends with the same bus driver, still driving the same bus route. He liked us and thanked us for our Christmas lights in the winter in the Tule Fog - because he could see where the intersection was. (Dairyland was probably 8 miles from downtown Chowchilla - our closest neighbor was another mile away at least, beyond fields. It was a 35 mile round trip to the closest big grocery store. REALLY in the sticks!) I never realized how isolated the area was until I lived across the street. Just my 2 cents. It must have been horrifying for those kids. (I can barely get on WS anymore- don't know why)
