"Babshoff" Name: Armando Brionez Date: Nov 11, 2007 Address: papamondo at netzero dot com Comment: Hi from bellingham washington. I went to school in Kerman in 68-69 an have very fond memorys of going to school their. I would like to hear from any one that i went to high school with. My brothers also went to kerman inthe late 60s . We ran track an our photo is in the 1969 year book . I am still running after all these years an it has taken me far from the grape vinyards of Kerman. Name: Jeanette Potter Bischoff Date: June 17, 2007 Address: j_bischoff_2000(at)yahoo(dot)com Gilroy, CA Comment: My dad, Verne Potter grew up and graduated from high school in
Kerman. I have very fond memories visting my grandparents, Clyde and Edna Potter
at their home in Kerman. Dad has been gone for two years now, but Mom, Ruth is
doing well. I know she, Jim Potter, and Wilda Potter would appreciate it if I
told everyone hello on their behalf. Out of nine children Wilda and Jim are
still carrying on!
The site brought back happy memories, thank you! Jeanette (Potter) Bischoff Name: Ron Dobbs Date: June 8, 2007 Address: Goldwataer64S6(at)aol(dot)com Oklahoma Comment: It was the winter of 1946 when my family lived in a tent in
Kerman. There were trailer houses and tents in the complex.
I remember a church being there and an olive tree in the middle of the complex. I was four years old and would take my brother to Sunday School at the church. (he was two) My dad hauled grapes for somebody. I don`t remember being hungry and all the folks in the complex were very friendly. Thanks for the great site, Scott. Hand tough, buddy and if we don`t know where we have been, IMO we have no idea where we want to go. Name: John A. Richardson Date: May 31, 2007 Address: 27hcir_78(at)cox(dot)net Sun City West, AZ Comment: Grandson of Clyde and Edna Potter. My daughter, Linda, sent me
the link to your Kerman site and what memories it brought back. When I lived
there it was a dusty little town of about 4,000. Understand now it's a commuting
suburb of Fresno....not sure that's a good thing, but that's "progress" in this
day and age.
Name: Linda Rose Date: May 29, 2007 Address: lindalou(at)astound(dot)net Concord, CA Comment: Great website. My great grandparents, Clyde & Edna Potter,
lived in Kerman. My father spent a lot of his youth out at their place and I
have wonderful memories of visiting for huge family reunions many times a year.
It was so long ago, but it really was the best of times. I enjoyed visiting your
website.
Name: Betty J. Guthrie Date: March 27, 2007 Address: bettyjguthrie(at)charter(dot)net Arroyo Grande CA Comment: Great Website. My greatgrandmother once owned a Restaurant/Bar
and little home on the main road in Kermin back in 1959-62. I remember it being
so hot, we had to sleep out on the screened porch on cots. I have a photograph
of my family inside the bar and it shows a really old cirgarette machine and
really pretty pine panelling. Would anyone remember the name of that
Restaurant/Bar? I have always considered it a truck stop because the big rigs
would stop in on their long hauls to/from Fresno. I remember walnut orchards,
and my cousin says cotton fields growing out back of the
restaurant.
Thanks for the memories. Anyone with information on the old bar/restaurant, please feel free to email me. Betty J. Guthrie Name: Mark V. Date: March 9, 2007 Address: Calif. Comment: Hello. My grandfather was the original owner of JV Furniture on
Madera Ave in town. He made and repaired furniture. The current building was
completed a couple of years before he passed away in 1987. The business used to
be called Kerman Custom Furniture I believe. He also grew table grapes on a farm
on Kearney Blvd. I miss him. I enjoyed my time with him and my grandmother
during the summers. There will never be people like them again. Treasure your
elders while you can.

Name: Olen White Date: June 2, 2006 Address: WhiteO7176(at)kermantel(dot)net Comment: I have been in Kerman all my life, born and raised. We have a portable museum of Kerman and would like to set up a permanent one. We are looking for a sponsor and a building. We have had many comments from people wanting a permanent museum and hope to have one someday. We just finished a 100 year history book of Kerman from 1906 to 2006, plus a studio quality DVD. We are also planning a larger, more extensive book in the future which will cover more of the history of Kerman. For all those who read this I will be working with Scott on beefing up his website so all can have an opportunity to read and see the history of Kerman and hopefully some interesting stories in the process. From Kerman's historian, enjoy.
