Fred,
The Takahashi's have always been great people!!  Back in the 60's when they first opened the fruit stand it was literally a lean-to.  I haven't actually seen it in a couple of years now, but it is anything but a lean-to now.  They started by selling their fruit that was overripe for packing and shipping.  In those days everything they packed was thru Wawona Orchards owned and operated by Earl & Murial Smittcamp.  Fruit for packing and shipping could not be tree ripe so they(tree ripe) were culls which Ted Takahashi took back and sold personally.  Believe it or not it was considered a risk because Herndon Ave in those days was WAY out in the country.
