Terry Ommen, well know Visalia Historian was our speaker today. Terry’s talk was about Book Safes. From his days in law enforcement, he noticed that bookshelves are never touched in a robbery. He started his company while still with the Visalia PD, called Forever Safe. He gave a background of what it took to take it from a mom & pop onesie twosies operation to Market—sold over 300,000. All over the world. He was able to put his daughter through college. Also confirmed there are no tunnels under Visalia and no Santa Clause.
