ABOUT THE AUTHORS
LUIS FUERTE is the five-time Emmy-award-winning former cameraman for the Huell Howser show California’s Gold, a hugely popular program that continues to run on California’s many PBS stations even since Howser’s death in 2013. Th
e son of a Mexican immigrant, Fuerte was born in San Bernardino, California. He became a cameraman after two years in the US Navy and attending LA Valley College to study television engineering. Besides his Emmy awards, Fuerte has been named Latino of the Year, been inducted into two halls of fame, and won the Golden Mic Award, the International Monitor Award, and the Salt of the Earth Award. After forty-eight years in television, he’s now retired and lives with his wife in Rialto, California.
DAVID DURON met Luis Fuerte while working as senior unit manager at KCET-TV in Los Angeles. A Marine Corps veteran who earned bachelor’s in political science and a master’s degree in journalism from UCLA, he also wrote and produced for KCBS-TV and KABC-TV during his television career. Now retired from a real job, Duron is working on several writing projects, including a novel and other as-told-to books from his home in Yucaipa, California.
