Coachella Valley Chronicles: Ep. 04. Richard Oliphant, Sr., Indian Wells Visionary - Part 2

The first time Richard Oliphant, Sr. was on the Coachella Valley Chronicles, we barely got him to the Coachella Valley. On this episode, we continue with Dick telling us about the building of the initial infrastructure of the Valley. Dick will share stories about developing the first volunteer ambulance service, they first volunteer fire department and the time he had to perform a tracheotomy on an accident victim (who lived!).

Few people have had the impact on this valley that Dick Oliphant, and his wife Jan, have had.
