In memoriam, the Reedley Historical
Society has dedicated this wonderful video documentary
to the late state poet laureate of California, Charles
B. "Gus" Garrigus, a former Reedley resident,
Reedley College professor and state Legislator. Garrigus'
recitation of his poem about Reedley and the Kings
River sets the tone for the documentary. Quick Time Player
