Angels Camp, CA...Behind most great organizations there is invariably one or two people who are the driving force to see that progress is made and plans come to fruition. Behind Bret Harte’s beautiful facilities and sports venues that many colleges would be proud to have that driving force has been and is Tony Tyrrell. From walking the halls in the state capital in search of grants and contributions to getting bond measures on ballots and endless fundraising he has done it all.
