Ramiro Sanchez took his talent for painting to Los Angeles Trade Tech and came back to Corcoran to paint almost everything in sight, from downtown murals to business signs. He talked about his career as the Business to Business guest at the Corcoran Rotary Club luncheon last week.
Born in Texas, he has spent most of his life in Corcoran. During a four-year-period, he did sign-painting in the Houston, Texas area.
Carolyn West and Cheryl Burress were special guests at the Corcoran Rotary Cub meeting Thursday, spotlighting the Business to Business program with information about Pollyanna’s Flowers ‘N Things.
The business has been a staple in Corcoran for the past 47 years and has been under the ownership of West since 1999. Carolyn actually started working in the shop in 1987.
A native of the Midwest, Carolyn grew up in Chicago and St. Louis, before she and her husband, Roy, moved to Corcoran. Mr. West taught school and coached baseball for several years before his retirement. The couple also raised their four sons here.
The family stayed involved in the community, notably in youth activities. Carolyn said she has never regretted living in a small town.
“We love Corcoran and its small town ways,” she noted. “Everyone who comes to Pollyanna’s becomes a friend.”
