She then served as president of the Central California District Coun- cil in 2016. Their extensive background, civic in- volvement and love of Reedley made them ob- vious choices by the Fi- esta Committee for the 2019 event. "I think it's an excit- ing adventure just to represent Reedley and be there for the commu- nity," Kathy said. "Reed- ley is special. Maybe I'm prejudiced because I've been here awhile. It just has that hometown atmosphere that I think is lacking in bigger cit- ies." Both Ron and Kathy are Central Valley na- tives, although Ron was born in a U.S. Govern- ment concentration camp in Arizona dur- ing World War II. But Reedley is his child- hood home, and after his third-generation family returned to Reedley af- ter the war ended when he was 3, Ron learned English when he started kindergarten at Wash- ington Elementary School. Nishinaka said he's extremely fortunate to have been raised and educated in Reed- ley schools. He played baseball in Little League and Babe Ruth League, played clarinet in the then-General Grant Ju- nior High School March- ing Band and then let- tered in two sports at Reedley High School be- fore graduating in 1961. Ron then attended Reed- ley College and gradu- ated from then-Fresno State College in 1964 and then University of San Francisco. He served nearly three years on a Northern California in- ternship in Sacramento. EXPOSURE Continued from page A5 suspect.

She graduated from Fresno State with a teaching degree and worked at Wishon and Burroughs grammar schools in the Fresno area. The Nishinakas met at a Central California Young Buddhist As- sociation conference when Ron was a new in- structor of ornamental horticulture at Reedley College and Kathy was a college student. "We got to talking and never stopped," she said with a laugh. The couple married in 1972, settled in Reedley and began their life together in the area. Ron said he's grate- ful for his eight years as a trustee with SCCCD. He noted the passage of Measure C in 2016 and the growth of Reedley College as two events he was proud to have helped play a part in. "It was a wonderful opportunity to serve, and to promote educa- tion in our area.," he said. And Ron still scratches the itch to teach. He's an instructor in an ornamental horti- culture class at Fresno State. "The majority of the students are future ag ed teachers. That's given me a real oppor- tunity to go back to my alma mater," he said. Kathy said the cou- ple's travels tend to take them back to Indianap- olis, where two of their grandchildren live. But Reedley remains special to both, and is a big part of Ron's life. "I guess I can say I'm very blessed to have grown up in Reedley and all the opportuni- ties we've had to grow," he said.
