Gary Ream, Morro Bay Historical Society

From Southern California moved to Fresno and lived in the mobile park in Cayucos on weekends. Lives in Morro Bay and served on the planning commission for 8 years, and recently retired in February. Organized the historical society in Morro Bay and happy to report there are 75 members. Established the celebrate Morro Bay Parade last Saturday in May in conjunction with the kite festival.

Book titled Morro Bay:

Collected pictures from families and enjoyed hearing the stories that were both humorous and sad.

One of the stories that came out of this research occurred during WWII when all Japanese Americans were placed in Internment camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

After the book was published

A great way to raise funds. Book has been available since 2006 and has raised over 8,000 dollars. Arcadia publishing has been wonderful!

Meet 4 times a year at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. They meet the first Sunday on the month and an announcement will appear in the Tribune.

Thank you Gary for speaking to our club and helping us to continue to appreciate the wonderful town that we live in.
