Sonora, CA... We received a very nice note from Erin O'Hare the market supervisor of the Sonora Farmers Market. They will be accepting funds for the Rodriquez Family this Saturday. From Erin "I feel compelled to shed some light on the ‘other’ victim that was unknown in our area because he was from Galt.

Elleazar "Ed" Rodriquez Passed Away at 49 in the Tragic Crash on Hwy 49 Last Saturday |
