High Desert (In-Person): “Luis, Take a Look at This! My Time with Huell Howser.”

During their twelve years together, Howser and Fuerte developed not just a great working relationship, but a true friendship. Genuinely interested in the people he interviewed and fascinated by the history of his adopted state, Howser led the way from the Mother Lode to the Inland Empire, and from Haight Street to Sunset Boulevard, as the duo uncovered everything that makes California special. Fuerte recounts some of their greatest discoveries, reveals the secrets of their success, and pays tribute to the man who struck gold wherever he looked.
