Meet Fred Sisneros...well sort of. Fred is a treasure, and he probably didn't know it. Fred's family ended up owning the valley which they helped to resettle in 1869. I would imagine their ownership issued through the Mexican Land Grants. Anyway Fred's father left him the protector of this history when he died. Can you even envision yourself the guardian of such a legacy as grand as this. I for one can't. Not even for a minute. Fred, I don't think blinked an eye. His father charged him, and he lived up to that charge.
In 1981 Abo became a part of the National Park System, and Fred became the country's oldest
Park Ranger. In accordance with his wishes, when he passed away in 1988, he was buried near his beloved mission under a Juniper tree. Salute, Fred.
