The late Leon S. Peters was a dynamic figure in the business, cultural, and civic life of Fresno. He was
born on a farm in southeast Fresno and served as president and general manager of Valley Foundry and Machine Works. Mr. Peters was involved in numerous causes and projects over the years, including making Fresno Community Hospital one of the area’s major health care institutions.
