Speaker:
Steve Merrill, a retired Special Education teacher for Fresno County Office of Education and Harley rider, has been enthralled with history for several decades.  His shelves are brimming over with history books on the Civil War, the conflicts of the Old West, Canadian history (his dad was born there and Steve lived there for 8years), Harley- Davidson history, and the history of Shaver Lake and the Sierra Nevada mountains.  This is all in addition to many volumes on railroad history!
