As someone who grew up on a farm <br />and loved the land, I find it hard to believe that Martha or Esther wanted that. <br />Why do I take the time to write the City of Santa Ana Council a letter and request that <br />you recognize this historic resource, and validate the investment that the Sexlingers <br />made in our City?
