I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail. com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

I remember the Pig Pen, vaguely, and certainly everything else in the Porterville gallery. The town has changed so much since the 60s. It's no longer a town where store owners know you by name and family, it has long since become a city. The concertina wire protecting the police station, some barred windows, etc., also show that it's no longer the small town where there was trust. One wonders if the drive to bring in businesses and grow the town was wise in the end, but I suppose those who don't know the old days find the new Porterville to their liking. If I recall the Ford family correctly, as I went to the Methodist church both before and after the move, there were twin girls that were my age, and they wore black and white shoes, oxford style. I know that because we sang "Brand New Shoes" for them in Sunday School.

Curt...Love your Porterville pictures...grew up in Porterville. I didn't know if you were notifed if someone posted a comment on your photos or not, but I did post a comment on your "Pig Sign" picture. As I commented, this sign was put on bldg by Wilber and Nadine Conner's who owned and operated "The Pig Pen" Cafe from sometime in the 1940's thru the early 1960's. It was a popular eating spot in Porterville for many years.

Curt,

Thanks for visiting my gallery and leaving the nice remarks on my freestyle motocross page. You have a wonderful gallery too, and I especially like the Renaissance Fair photos.

The freestyle motocross riders practice much in the same way skateboarders and freestyle BMX riders practice, only on a much larger scale. That is, they construct/dig huge, deeeeep pits at the end of their practice kicker ramps and fill them with big, big chunks of foam rubber. If they can tell they're going to crash a jump, they just throw the bike aside and land in the foam.

Pretty cool!
