Ric and Tim Vigallon?
Does anyone know who Ric and Tim Vigallon are? It occurred to me the other day that every "Vigallon" (with that spelling) is probably a relative of ours since the name started being spelled that way with Papa and Joe Vigallon. So I googled "Vigallon" and found a bunch of people I didn't know yet.
For example, there are these two metal sculpture artists in Yucca Valley, California named Ric and Tim Vigallon. Does anyone know who they are? In a letter to the Cal Berkeley newspaper, Tim mentions that his father was a "carrot farmer in Fresno".
Are they ours?

Hello,
My name is Jennifer Vigallon. I am the daughter of Randy Vigallon, who is the son of Tony Vigallon.
I also googled Vigallon and found Ric and Tim in Yucca Valley.
After talking to them I discovered they were cousins of my dads. They are very talented at what they do and I had them create a very nice Eagle for my dad Randy for Fathers Day this year. They gave me a great family discount even though we had never met.
Just a little side note, my very first car that I bought back when I was 16 in 1988 was from Jim Vigallon and his daughter Jill.
My dad just emailed me this website today and I just love it.
You have all done such a wonderful job creating it. I love seeing the pictures, and I can see the strong Vigallon traits in my own family.
This is my very first attempt at a blog, so I am not sure if this will even work.

Jennifer, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I love hearing about the connections between the family. I've been exchanging emails with Jill, she's in Manteca now.
And your Dad just told me he was the ringbearer at my parents' wedding (in 1955)! Wow. I'm going to see if I can go find some old pictures myself.
And could you take a picture of the Eagle and post it on the blog? (Or send it to me if you need me to scan it in.) I'd love to see it. Do you have Randy or Tim's email or telephone?
love,
your cousin Liz
