Mr. and Mrs. Jim Fauver to be honored next Friday night, January 31st at the Basketball game between Fillmore High and Santa Paula High. It will be our "Pack the House" night, so please come see the Fauver's as we honor them for all the years they put into helping our Fillmore students of years past and now. Did you know they moved to Fillmore from Gary, Indiana in 1964. They were looking to move out west, and Mrs. Fauver sent out 50 plus letters to school districts all over Arizona, and California, and other western states. Mr. Fauver said one day when he came home from work, Mrs. Fauver said that he received a phone call from a Mr. Maine in Fillmore, CA. They spoke and Mr. Main said that he spoke to Mr. Fauvers superintendent, and a few others and wanted to offer him a job, and to be the Basketball coach in Fillmore. Mr. Fauver accepted, and as soon as he hung up the phone, both him and his wife pulled out the map of the U.S. and started looking for Fillmore, CA. They found it, and a few months later, he was the new Basketball Coach of our Flashes. The picture is the 1964-65 Basketball Team with Coach Fauver. Come out next Friday, January, 31st to the Basketball game as we honor two of Fillmore's finest, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Fauver, and say hello. We are sure he'd like to see some of his former players. |
