Ada’s and Lee’s home in Pacheco

Church and School house in Pacheco – Burned about 1943

The building was burning, everyone was watching it. Ada Fenn rushed in to save the piano. The men followed her in and the piano

was saved.

Music was important to Ada. She and Lee loved to sing together while Lee played the guitar. In the later years, they had a piano and

Ada encouraged her children to learn to play it.
