I ran into one of Bill Woolley's former students, David Chavez (AHS '98), at State Foods in Avenal back on Saturday. He is now Chief of Staff at Fresno Unified School District. Just one example of Dr. Woolley's impact and influence with Reef-Sunset Unified School District, the City of Avenal, and Avenal First Baptist Church. Thank you for all you added to my life. I will continue to pray for your extended family.
